Mortgage foreclosure surplus
Cal. Civ. Code §§ 2924j and 2924k govern nonjudicial trustee-sale surplus, paying sale costs, secured debt, junior liens by priority, then the trustor or successor. Under § 2924j(a), the trustee sends notice within 30 days after executing the trustee's deed, and the claimant has 30 days after notice is sent to submit a written claim. If disputed money is deposited with the court, a claimant has 30 days after the court-deposit notice to claim there under § 2924j(d). These surplus procedures are separate from property redemption.
