Claiming surplus funds in Woodson County
Surplus from sales in Woodson County is held by the county office that conducted the sale, typically the clerk, auditor, or treasurer. We confirm the holding office before anything is filed.
Judicial mortgage proceeds follow the foreclosure decree and Kansas priority law, with Kansas Supreme Court precedent recognizing junior lienholders ahead of the debtor in surplus. Request distribution under the foreclosure case's sale-confirmation order; the cited statutes set no uniform surplus cutoff. K.S.A. § 60-2414 governs property redemption, with a 12-month baseline. That redemption period is not a sale-surplus claim deadline.
