How Long Do I Have to Recover Surplus Funds?

In Georgia, claiming surplus funds after a foreclosure is time-sensitive. You have a maximum of 5 years before the funds are paid to the state.

The Foreclosure Process

  • Step 1 – A 30-day Notice of Intent to Foreclose
    A lender must notify the borrower 30 days prior to scheduling a foreclosure sale. There are specific parameters that must be meet when providing this notice and if not meet, then the notice can be deemed invalid.
  • Step 2 – Publicized Sale

    The lender must run a public advertisement for at least four weeks. This advertisement must be in an official, county newspaper where the property is located and must run at least once a week for four weeks before the sale.

    • Step 3 – Reinstating the Loan

      At this point, the borrower has the option to reinstate the loan. In Georgia, residents have the right to pay back money owed and reinstate the loan up to 5 days before the foreclosure sale. In some limited circumstances, a loan can be reinstated before the foreclosure sale is even schedule.

      • Step 4 – A Foreclosure Sale

        If a borrower is unable to pay the money owed and reinstate the loan, then a lender has the right to hold a foreclosure sale on the first Tuesday of the month.
