Claiming surplus funds in Hickory County
Surplus from sales in Hickory 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.
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 443.410 authorizes trustee foreclosure and a limited property-redemption right, while deed-of-trust terms and Missouri priority case law govern junior interests and the remaining surplus. Section 443.410 states no uniform trustee-sale surplus filing deadline. Its one-year redemption applies only to specified purchases by or for the debt holder after required notice. That property-redemption period is not a surplus claim clock.
