THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY. IT IS NOT INTENDED AND IS NOT TO BE INTERPRETED OR USED AS LEGAL ADVICE. EACH LEGAL PROBLEM IS UNIQUE; THEREFORE, CASE SPECIFIC LEGAL ANALYSIS BY A LICENSED ATTORNEY IS RECOMMENDED.

Excess proceeds ("Surplus") is what is generated upon the sale of a property for non payment of taxes. If you are a prior owner or a lien holder against the subject property you may have a claim against the Surplus. With the latest revision of the statutes the clerk, or the entity holding the surplus, is unlikely to release the surplus to an entity that does not appear to have clear priority to the surplus. Moreover, some counties do not even begin processing disbursement of surplus until one year after the tax deed sale without an order by the court.

Your best chances of advancing you claim against the surplus is to retain a qualified attorney to prosecute your claim and possibly shorten any county imposed waiting periods.
