Surplus funds (also called excess proceeds or overbid) are the money left over when a property sells at foreclosure or tax sale for MORE than what was owed. For example: If you owed $50,000 and your property sold for $75,000, there's $25,000 in surplus. That money legally belongs to the former property owner — YOU.
Absolutely. In 2023, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled in Tyler v. Hennepin County that surplus funds are the constitutional property of the former owner. Counties cannot keep this money — it belongs to YOU. This is your legal right.
It varies widely. Some people have a few hundred dollars. Others have $20,000+. The only way to know is to research your specific property sale — which is exactly what Module 2 teaches you.
You may still have time! Statutes of limitations vary by state — some as short as 3 years, others as long as 10 years. The 50-State Directory in the course tells you your state's specific deadline. Check it ASAP.
YES! If the original property owner is deceased, their legal heirs can file a claim. Module 3 has an entire section dedicated to heir claims, including probate guidance and all the templates you need.
The course covers this! You'll learn how to document multiple heirs, split claims fairly, and navigate family dynamics around money. The Heir Recovery Masterclass (upsell) goes even deeper.
