Mortgage foreclosure surplus

W. Va. Code § 38-1-7(a) governs deed-of-trust proceeds, paying expenses and secured obligations before surplus goes to the grantor, heirs, personal representatives, successors or assigns as their interests appear. Section 38-1-7 sets no special initial grantor surplus deadline. Contact the trustee promptly for accounting and payment. A withheld-funds action requires case-specific limitations analysis.

Tax sale surplus

W. Va. Code §§ 11A-3-64–65 govern surplus from the specified deputy commissioner sales of delinquent or nonentered lands. The former owner, heirs or assigns must file in the circuit court where the land lies within two years after sale confirmation under § 11A-3-65. Otherwise, money goes to the Auditor for the general school fund.

Unclaimed funds

W. Va. Code art. 36-8 governs unclaimed property, with initial claims under § 36-8-15 and judicial actions under § 36-8-16. Section 36-8-15 sets no fixed general initial owner-claim cutoff. The administrator generally decides within 90 days. A denied or unacted-on claimant may sue under § 36-8-16.
