FAQ: Surplus Funds Recovery in Florida

How Can I Claim Foreclosure Surplus Funds In Florida?

Claiming foreclosure surplus funds in Florida involves several steps. 

  • Determine Eligibility: Check the court records from the foreclosure sale to see if you are potentially entitled to the surplus funds. Eligible parties typically include the homeowner, heirs of a deceased homeowner, and potential subordinate lien holders. 
  • File a Motion: Once we determine eligbility, we then file a detailed motion with the court and set it for a court hearing. This motion includes case law, Florida statutes, and further argument to convince the court of entitlement. 
  • Consult an Attorney: Given the complexity of this process, consulting with the top Floridaforeclosure surplus funds attorney from the Haynes Law Group is  invaluable. A Florida foreclosure surplus lawyer, not a foreclosure surplus recovery company,  can help ensure all paperwork is correctly filed and represent your interests in court, increasing the likelihood of a successful claim.
  • Receive Funds: After the court approves your claim, the surplus funds will be disbursed to you. This can take several weeks, depending on the court’s schedule and the specifics of your case.

Working with the Haynes Law Group professionals ensures a smoother and more efficient process, helping you secure the surplus funds. Mr. Haynes has been a Foreclosure Surplus lawyer for over thirteen years and has handled thousands of foreclosure cases. 

How Long Does It Take To Get Surplus Funds?

The process to receive surplus foreclosure funds in Florida typically takes several weeks to a few months, depending on court schedules and the specifics of your case. Consulting with an attorney from Haynes Law Group can help expedite the process and ensure all necessary documentation is correctly filed.

How Can Haynes Law Group Help? 

The process itself can be confusing, which means you should consider hiring legal counsel from an Orlando foreclosure surplus lawyer to guide you through the process. If one misses a deadline or files paperwork with mistakes, they may be legally blocked from receiving the foreclosure surplus funds in Florida!

Florida Statute 45.032 (c) states that “Surplus funds are the funds remaining after payment of all disbursements required by the final judgment of foreclosure and shown on the certificate of disbursements.” Florida Statute 45.032 (2) further states that “There is established a rebuttable legal presumption that the owner of record on the date of the filing of a lis pendens is the person entitled to surplus funds after payment of subordinate lienholders who have timely filed a claim.

In order for a homeowner to collect these foreclosure surplus funds, one must properly notice the court within a specific time frame in order to be eligible to win the money. Many times, the second or third lien holders, often a bank or government entity, will try and collect these funds that should belong to the homeowner. This is where having a lawyer that has handled foreclosure surplus cases in Florida can come into play.

    “We would trust Haynes and De Paz to represent us again!”
    Haynes Law Group represented our foreclosure case for over a year. It was really nice to have a lawyer that constantly communicated with us, and made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. They were able to get us a very favorable decision, and we would trust Haynes to represent us again in any legal situation.

    “You won me the full amount of my foreclosure surplus funds without having to pay any other parties!”
    My conversations with you and your employees especially Ashlee have been tremendous, very informative and helpful . When I first received notices from other firms about the foreclosure surplus funds I thought it was all a joke , I thought you’ve got to be kidding me since the house is not worth that much, but then when I received your letter and confirmed the sale on the internet, I selected your firm and you were very informative about my marital situation when we first talked on the phone , for that I am extremely grateful for your knowledge on my situation. You helped win me the full amount of my foreclosure surplus funds without having to pay any other parties. If you need a great Tampa foreclosure surplus lawyer, hire Ben Haynes!

    “Thank you to Ben and his team and Haynes & De Paz and I would recommend anyone looking into strategic defense against foreclosure to contact them immediately!”
    I approached Attorney Ben Haynes with probably one of the most difficult commercial foreclosure cases of his career. Going into it we both knew it would be an uphill battle against one of most ruthless banks in the industry. In the end, Ben negotiated a short sale that exceeded all my expectations and we were able to walk away from a bank whom had held us financially hostage for over a decade. Now we are finally able to move forward and grow our company to new heights! Thank you to Ben and his team and Haynes & De Paz and I would recommend anyone looking into strategic defense against foreclosure to contact them immediately!

    “I personally do not plan on going through this again; however, if I know someone else who is, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Haynes for their case.”
    I came to Benjamin Haynes at a time when I had very little options regarding my foreclosure. He was very confident in what we would be able to do and it was the biggest relief to turn things over to him and let him handle things from that point on. His assistant Ashley was also very helpful in the sense that she would get back to me when she said that she would and I always knew my messages were getting to Mr. Haynes. I personally do not plan on going through this again; however, if I know someone else who is, I would definitely recommend Benjamin Haynes for their case.

    “A few details and after learning about his firm I signed an engagement letter!”
    I spoke with a couple of my attorney clients about how to obtain surplus funds for a family member and they were unfamiliar with the process so I googled attorneys who specialize in obtaining surplus funds. Ben’s name was the first to pop up. I sent an email with a few details and after learning about his firm I signed an engagement letter. Within a couple of months we received a check.
