Mortgage foreclosure surplus

Ark. Code Ann. § 18-50-109 governs statutory foreclosure proceeds: expenses, debt, later recorded liens by priority, then surplus to the grantor or entitled successor. Title 18, Chapter 50 supplies the nonjudicial procedure, and § 18-50-109 sets no fixed grantor surplus-claim deadline. A statutory foreclosure creates no implied property-redemption right under § 18-50-116. After judicial foreclosure, § 18-49-106 allows one year from sale to redeem, but that property right may be waived in the mortgage or deed of trust.

Tax sale surplus

Ark. Code Ann. § 26-37-205 and 26 CAR §§ 400-401–400-403 govern Commissioner of State Lands tax-sale excess through a statewide procedure. The Commissioner holds the former owner's remainder after statutory distributions in escrow for one year before the former record owner may apply. For parcels sold after July 1, 2018, funds remain available for two years; for sales after July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2018, the published claim period was three years. After the applicable period, unclaimed funds return to the county; these excess-claim periods are separate from pre-sale property redemption.

Unclaimed funds

Ark. Code Ann. §§ 18-28-201 et seq. govern unclaimed property, with initial owner claims under § 18-28-215 and current Auditor of State administrative rules. Section 18-28-215 sets no fixed initial owner-claim cutoff. The administrator must allow or deny a filed claim within 90 days and generally pay or deliver an allowed claim within 30 days. A denial may be addressed through a new claim or an action under § 18-28-216.
