Foreclosure Surplus
Funds Attorney Miami

Your home sold at foreclosure for more than you owed. That surplus money may belong to you — and we can help you get it.

Overview

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.

Common Questions

Surplus Funds Recovery FAQs

How do I know if I have surplus funds from my foreclosure?

Check the court records for your foreclosure case in Miami-Dade County. If the property sold for more than the judgment amount plus fees, there may be surplus funds held by the clerk. We offer free consultations to review your case.

How long do I have to claim foreclosure surplus funds in Florida?

You have 60 days after the clerk publishes notice of the surplus to file a claim. After that, junior lienholders — and eventually the government — can claim the funds. Act immediately.

How much does it cost to hire a surplus funds attorney?

We typically handle surplus funds cases on a contingency basis — you pay nothing unless we recover funds for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover.
