On October 16, 2023, Elias A. Kohn was quoted in an OregonLive article analyzing the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark ruling requiring counties to return surplus proceeds from tax foreclosure sales.
Mr. Kohn explained that the decision has profound implications for vulnerable homeowners, heirs, and families who often lose far more equity than the underlying tax debt. He emphasized that receiving surplus funds can be financially life-changing, especially for individuals caught in foreclosure due to hardship, illness, or generational property issues.
