Surplus Claim Advocates LLC is not a law firm. We are not a licensed real estate brokerage. We are not a certified surplus trustee as defined by Florida Statute 45.034. The services we provide consist solely of surplus funds research, documentation preparation, and claim filing assistance.
Nothing on this website should be interpreted as legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is formed by your use of this website or engagement of our services. If you need legal advice, please consult a licensed Florida attorney.
We help former homeowners research and identify surplus funds from foreclosure and tax deed auction sales in Florida, prepare the necessary documentation, and file claims with the appropriate Clerk of Court offices. We do not provide legal representation in court proceedings, and we do not appear in court on your behalf.
Our team has experience navigating the surplus funds claim process under Florida Statute 45.032, but we are not a substitute for legal counsel. The outcomes of surplus fund claims depend on many factors, including the specific facts of each case, applicable deadlines, the existence of competing claims, and the discretion of the court.
Under Florida Statute 45.032(3)(a), former property owners have the right to file surplus funds claims directly with the Clerk of Court without the assistance of a lawyer, paralegal, or any other representative. You also do NOT have to assign your rights to the surplus funds to anyone else in order to file a claim. This is a right that belongs to you under Florida law.
Engaging Surplus Claim Advocates LLC is entirely voluntary. You are free to pursue a surplus funds claim on your own or through any other representative of your choosing.
The content on this website, including any articles, blog posts, guides, and FAQs, is provided for general informational purposes only. It is not intended as legal advice and should not be relied upon as such. The information on this site may not reflect the most current version of Florida foreclosure law or court procedures.
Florida law, court rules, and procedures are subject to change. Surplus Claim Advocates LLC makes no representations or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information on this website. You should verify any legal information independently or consult a licensed Florida attorney before taking any action.
We make no guarantees, warranties, or promises regarding the outcome of any surplus funds claim. The existence and amount of any surplus funds depends entirely on the facts of your specific foreclosure or tax deed case. The final judgment amount, auction sale price, outstanding liens, and competing claims all affect whether surplus funds exist and how much, if any, can be recovered.
Recovery timelines also vary significantly by case. Some claims are resolved within 30 to 60 days. Others may take several months, particularly when multiple parties assert competing claims or court hearings are required.
Testimonials, case highlights, and example amounts referenced on this website represent the specific experiences of named clients and the specific surplus amounts recovered in their cases. These examples are not typical results and should not be interpreted as a prediction or guarantee of any specific outcome in your case.
Individual results vary based on the unique facts of each case. Past recovery of surplus funds by other clients does not imply or guarantee that surplus funds are available in your case, or that any amount will be recovered if funds are available.
We strongly recommend consulting a licensed Florida attorney before making any decisions about a surplus funds claim, particularly if your property is subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings, ongoing litigation, or complex lienholder disputes. An attorney can advise you on your specific legal rights and obligations.
This website does not constitute a referral to or recommendation of any specific attorney or law firm.
Our team speaks English and Spanish. However, our bilingual services relate to client communication and general inquiry support only. Legal advice, court filings, and other formal legal documents remain subject to applicable Florida law and professional standards. If you require legal advice in Spanish, please consult a bilingual Florida attorney.
The testimonials published on this website come from actual clients of Surplus Claim Advocates LLC who recovered surplus funds in their respective cases. The names represent actual clients and have been published with their consent. The dollar amounts reflect the specific surplus funds recovered in each individual case and are not estimates or averages.
Testimonials are not a guarantee or prediction of results in any other case. Individual outcomes vary based on case-specific facts, applicable law, and other factors beyond our control.
The inclusion of any government statute citations, court procedures, or Clerk of Court references on this website does not constitute an endorsement of Surplus Claim Advocates LLC by any Florida court, county clerk, government agency, or other public body.
