Mortgage foreclosure surplus

Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 35-5-101–117 govern nonjudicial deed-of-trust sale procedure; the deed, Tennessee equity and lien-priority law govern surplus. The foreclosure provisions set no universal post-sale owner surplus deadline. Request trustee accounting and payment promptly. The statutory two-year property-redemption right under §§ 66-8-101 et seq. may be waived in the deed and is separate from surplus.

Tax sale surplus

Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 67-5-2501(a)(3)(A)(vi) and 67-5-2702 govern judicial delinquent-tax excess through a motion in the tax case and priority among taxes, lienholders and the former taxpayer. An interested person may move after confirmation and until the money is actually forwarded to the state under § 67-5-2702(c)(5). Serve the motion at least 30 days before hearing. Property redemption under § 67-5-2701 is separate.

Unclaimed funds

Tenn. Code Ann. tit. 66, ch. 29, pt. 1 governs unclaimed property, with State Treasurer claims under § 66-29-152. Section 66-29-152 sets no fixed general initial owner-claim cutoff for Treasurer-held property. After tax-sale excess transfers under § 67-5-2702, the unclaimed-property claim process applies.
