Heirs: Claiming Surplus Funds in Indiana

Did a loved one lose their Indiana home to foreclosure? You may be legally entitled to recover the leftover surplus funds—even if the sale happened years ago. Learn how heirs can claim and how National Equity Agency makes the process easy.

What Heirs Need to Know

When an Indiana property is sold at sheriff’s sale and generates surplus funds, the original homeowner—or their legal heirs—may be entitled to those funds. This includes children, grandchildren, spouses, siblings, and other relatives.

Even if the deceased homeowner did not leave a will, Indiana’s probate code may still allow for rightful inheritance of surplus proceeds through affidavit or small estate procedures.

Who Can Claim Surplus Funds as an Heir?

📜 Children or grandchildren of the homeowner
🤝 Surviving spouse or domestic partner
👨‍👩‍👦 Siblings, nieces, nephews, or cousins in absence of closer heirs
⚖️ Court-appointed personal representatives or executors

We help determine your legal standing, even if you were not named in a will or if no estate has been opened.

Documents That Help Establish Heirship

Death certificate of the deceased homeowner
Proof of relationship (e.g., birth certificate, obituary, family tree)
Any probate court filings, if available
ID and contact info for you and any co-heirs
