Surplus Funds Recovery in Miami
When a property sells at a foreclosure auction for more than the total amount owed on the mortgage and fees, the excess money — called surplus funds — is held by the court clerk. Many former homeowners don't know they're entitled to these funds. Our Miami attorneys help you file a timely claim to recover every dollar you're owed from the foreclosure sale surplus.
