What Are Excess Funds?
1. Sale Price Exceeds Debts:
When a foreclosed property is sold, the selling price may exceed the total debts associated with the property, including the mortgage balance, interest, legal fees, and other costs. This surplus amount is what we refer to as excess funds.
2. Priority Payments:
The excess funds are distributed in a specific order of priority. First, any outstanding property taxes and liens are paid off. Then, the remaining funds are distributed to various stakeholders, including the homeowner, junior lienholders (e.g., second mortgages or home equity lines of credit), and the foreclosing entity, such as a bank or lending institution.

3. Former Homeowner's Share:
After all the debts and obligations are satisfied, the former homeowner is entitled to their share of the excess funds. These funds can serve as a financial cushion to help them move forward after the foreclosure process.
4. Junior Lienholders:
If there are multiple liens on the property, junior lienholders receive their share of the excess funds based on their position in the priority order. It's essential to note that the funds may not be enough to fully cover all junior liens, and some lienholders may receive only a fraction of what they are owed.
Excess funds, also known as excess proceeds or surplus funds, are created when a property sells at a tax sale or foreclosure for more than what is owed. After liens, taxes, and fees are paid, the remaining balance may be owed to the former owner or eligible parties.
