About Foreclosure
What Are Excess Funds in Georgia?
When a property is sold at foreclosure or a tax sale in Georgia, the proceeds are applied in this order:
1. Mortgage or tax debt
2. Liens and fees
3. Remaining balance (Excess Funds)
That remaining balance does not go to the bank or the county, it belongs to:
– The former property owner
– Heirs or family members
– Other legally entitled parties
Example:
A home sells for $300,000.
The debt owed is $220,000
$80,000 in excess funds may be recoverable.

How do I know if I have excess funds in Georgia?
Most individuals are never notified properly. We can quickly check public records and determine if funds are available.
