[WSBAPT] Release of Surplus Funds from Foreclosure

[Candace Wilkerson]

I have done it, Jeannie, but in Pierce County.  They required the opening of a probate first.  I assume this was not a tax foreclosure sale?

Subject: [WSBAPT] Release of Surplus Funds from Foreclosure

I represent the sole surviving child of an unmarried decedent whose home was foreclosed upon after his death. His daughter was not notified of the sale until after the proceeds were deposited in the registry of the court in Snohomish County. She became aware of it after being contacted by a number of attorneys who were going to help her with the recovery for a percentage of the funds. The Trustee did not send her notice of any of the proceedings - I don't think the Trustee knew about her.

Has anyone done this before? Curious if I have to commence a probate, or whether I can use a small estate affidavit - the funds are less than $100,000. Or is there another process by which to obtain the funds? Thanks in advance for any insight - Jeannie
