Understanding Surplus Funds After a Property Owner Passes Away

When a property is sold due to unpaid property taxes, the sale sometimes produces more money than the taxes owed.

The remaining money is known as surplus funds or excess proceeds.

In Connecticut, these funds may belong to the former property owner or their heirs if the owner has passed away.

Who May be Eligible to Claim Surplus Funds

Heirs who may be entitled to surplus funds include:

• Children of the property owner
• Surviving spouse
• Estate executors or administrators
• Individuals named in a will
• Legal heirs determined through probate

Documentation may be required depending on the situation.

Common Situations Involving Surplus Funds

Example:

• Property owner passed away before taxes were paid
• Property inherited but taxes went unpaid
• Property sold years after the owner died
• Family unaware that surplus funds existed
