Foreclosure money left unclaimed
Journal Gazette
Allen Superior Court is looking for more than 40 former property owners who might be entitled to money – potentially thousands of dollars – following the foreclosure sale of their homes.
Superior Court has already facilitated the return of more than $305,000 to former property owners but hopes to return even more, a Tuesday news release said.
During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a halt in jury trials and other proceedings, including mortgage foreclosures. Superior Court s Civil Division staff took advantage of the opportunity to review past foreclosure cases, looking for surpluses owed to the original homeowners, the release said.
