Foreclosure Surplus Funds in Illinois
When a foreclosure sale in Illinois generates more than the amount owed to the lender plus costs, the excess — called surplus funds — must be held by the court or the foreclosing party for the former homeowner. Many homeowners never claim these funds because they don't know they exist or miss the claim deadline. We help you identify and recover surplus funds owed to you, and can buy your property before foreclosure to protect your equity entirely.
