What the foreclosure took was enough. Don’t let it take your money too.
When a property sells, there can be extra money left over, called foreclosure surplus funds, excess proceeds, or overages. And even beyond foreclosure, California may be holding state-held unclaimed funds in your name. The problem is: this money doesn’t always get sent to you automatically, and deadlines can apply.
Here’s what you need to hear:
You’re allowed to find out.
You’re allowed to ask questions.
You’re allowed to take one small step forward without committing to anything.
You might be dealing with all of this right now:
