Money may be waiting for you after a foreclosure or tax deed sale
When a Florida property sells at a foreclosure or tax deed auction for more than what was owed, the extra money, called surplus, is held by the Clerk of Court. Former owners, and their heirs if the owner has died, can often claim it. Deadlines apply, and lienholders can claim ahead of the owner, so it pays to act quickly.
You can claim it yourself. The Clerk's office can explain how. If you'd rather have a lawyer handle the paperwork, filings and any hearing, we can help.
What we handle
- Foreclosure surplus claims
- Tax deed surplus claims
- Florida unclaimed property claims
- Claims by heirs, including probate
- Quiet title and partition for inherited property
How it works
- Tell us the property address, county and sale date if you know it.
- We check court and Clerk records and tell you whether there's money and who else may claim it.
- If you hire us, we file the claim and handle it through payment.
We have represented clients recovering surplus funds from foreclosure and tax deed sales in counties across Florida, including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Monroe and Alachua.

Serving the court as attorney ad litem and receiver
Some cases need a neutral lawyer the judge can rely on: to protect people who can't be found, or to take charge of property while a dispute is resolved. Justin Rundle accepts court appointments in both roles.
Attorney ad litem
Justin is appointed by judges in foreclosure and other property cases to represent parties who are unknown or were served by publication, such as missing owners and unknown heirs.
- Diligent search for the missing party
- Review of service, title and the plaintiff's filings
- Report and recommendations to the court
- Protecting the absent party's rights, including any surplus
Receiverships
Under Florida's Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act (Chapter 714), a court can appoint a receiver to take control of property during a foreclosure or dispute.
- Securing the property and keeping it insured
- Collecting rents and paying operating expenses
- Managing tenants and vendors
- Regular reports and accountings to the court
- Selling the property when the court orders it
For judges, lenders and counsel
A receiver must be independent of the parties and post a bond set by the court. Justin can provide a sworn statement of no disqualifying interest and post the bond the court requires. To propose him as receiver or ad litem, call or email with the case name and number.
