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 lienholders.
- File a Motion: Once we determine eligibility, 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 a Florida foreclosure 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, which can increase 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 helps create a smoother and more efficient process, guiding you as you pursue 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 a Florida surplus funds attorney from can help move the process forward 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 someone 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.”
For a homeowner to collect these foreclosure surplus funds, they must properly notify the court within the applicable time frame to remain eligible to receive the money. Many times, second or third lienholders, often a bank or government entity, will try to collect these funds that may belong to the homeowner. This is where having an experienced Florida surplus funds attorney by your side can come into play.
When we take on a case, we review not only the foreclosure judgment and sale documents, but also the full title history to identify all junior and senior liens that may affect distribution. We then explain to you how those liens interact under Florida law so you understand what portion of the surplus may realistically come to you after valid claims are resolved. By preparing for potential objections from other lienholders in advance, we are often able to present a clear, organized argument to the court that supports your position and can help reduce delays.
