I often get asked whether or not a former owner of a property, that sold in a tax deed foreclosure auction, needs to hire a lawyer to collect tax deed surplus funds. From my experience, it is critical for a former owner to hire an experienced tax deed surplus funds lawyer to put them in a position to collect the surplus.
There are mortgage foreclosure surplus funds and then tax deed surplus funds in Florida. I have written over 50 blogs on why a former owner in a mortgage foreclosure surplus funds situation should absolutely hire an attorney to help them. As crazy as it sounds, it is even more critical for a tax deed surplus lawyer to be hired in a tax deed surplus funds case. Here is why:
Tax deed surplus is 90% procedural and 10% substantive. That means, a party that wants to collect tax deed surplus funds needs to know Florida Civil Procedure very well. I have navigated through thousands and thousands of foreclosure cases. That civil procedure experience led me to win a lot of tax deed surplus litigation cases.
My biggest strategic point: get that case into court! Either through an interpleader or a declaratory relief action. Once the Florida tax deed surplus funds case is in court, I can navigate with civil procedure to try and win the tax surplus funds for my client.
