How property becomes abandoned
Surplus funds can occur for various reasons. For example, if the property in a tax foreclosure sells for a higher price than the total amount owed,
or if there are no eligible claimants to collect the funds. In some cases, the property owner may not be aware of the surplus or may
not have been located to receive the funds.
There are also funds available for heirs in tax sales, abandoned checking accounts, life insurance policies, and beneficiares from deceased individuals not properly willed.
To claim excess surplus funds, it is usually necessary to follow specific procedures and provide documentation to the appropriate authorities.
