Press Release
If You Owned, Inherited or Held an Interest in a Home That Was Foreclosed in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, You May Be Owed Part of More Than $23 Million in Unclaimed Foreclosure Surplus Funds
Foreclosure Recovery Inc. urges former homeowners and their heirs to check their claim at usforeclosurerecovery.com before the money is transferred to the state. There is no upfront fee, and the company has served more than 3,400 recovery clients nationwide.
United States, 16th Sep 2026 – The following statement is being issued by Foreclosure Recovery Inc. regarding excess foreclosure sale proceeds currently held by the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts.
When a foreclosed home is sold at a sheriff’s sale for more than the amount owed to the lender, the difference does not belong to the bank, the buyer or the county. It belongs to the former owner, or to that owner’s heirs. In Ohio these balances are called excess funds, and they sit with the court until someone files a claim.
According to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts’ own published “Excess Funds – Foreclosure” list, reviewed by Foreclosure Recovery Inc. on September 13, 2026, the county is holding balances in 6,657 foreclosure cases totaling more than $23.1 million. More than 540 of those cases hold $10,000 or more, and the largest single balance exceeds $213,000. Most of the people named on that list have no idea the money exists.
Who is included
You may be entitled to a payment if you owned, inherited or otherwise held an interest in a Cuyahoga County home that was sold at a foreclosure sale for more than what was owed on it. Common examples include the former owner of record, a spouse or co-owner, and the heirs or estate of an owner who has since passed away. Many of the county’s larger balances are held in the names of “unknown heirs,” which means the court was never able to find the family.
Why the money goes unclaimed
Notice of a surplus is usually given only through the court file and a legal advertisement. By the time the sale closes, most families have moved, and heirs of a deceased owner are rarely told at all. Under Ohio law, court-held funds that stay unclaimed are eventually turned over to the state’s unclaimed funds program, where recovery takes longer and requires more paperwork. Foreclosure Recovery Inc. was founded to close that notification gap.
What are your options?
- Check your claim. Visit www.usforeclosurerecovery.com/claim-foreclosure-surplus-funds, enter the property address, and the company will review the county record and tell you what it finds. The check is free and takes about two minutes. You can also call (888) 545-8007, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific, seven days a week.
- Let the company handle the claim. If a surplus exists, Foreclosure Recovery Inc. verifies the balance against the county’s record, prepares the court filing, coordinates with the Clerk of Courts, and sends a notary to you. There is no upfront cost. The company is paid a contingency fee only after the funds are released, and the fee is disclosed in writing before anything is signed.
- File on your own. Claimants may petition the court directly without paying a fee. The company’s service is for people who would rather not handle a court filing, notary and attorney fees themselves, or who live out of state, or who are dealing with an estate.
- Do nothing. The balance stays with the court and, in time, is transferred to the state.
The legal backdrop
The unanimous 2023 United States Supreme Court decision in Tyler v. Hennepin County held that a government may not keep the equity left over after a foreclosure. Since that ruling, states and counties across the country have been publishing their surplus lists and, in several cases, settling with former owners who were never paid. Cuyahoga County’s list is public. The claims still have to be filed one case at a time, which is where most families lose the money.
A note for people who want to do this work
Foreclosure Recovery Inc. also trains and supports independent Asset Recovery Agents who locate former homeowners, explain what the court is holding and help them file. Agents work from home on their own schedule with a support desk behind them. Information on the program is available at usforeclosureleads.com.
