Syllabus

Foreclosure R.C. 2923.44 discretion of court to distribute excess funds. In a foreclosure action, the trial court retains jurisdiction to distribute excess funds after a sheriff's sale. R.C. 2944 does not apply to mandate distribution of excess funds to the owner where the trial court has not finalized the case. Further, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in distributing excess funds to a bank that held a judgment against the property owner, even though the bank did not join the foreclosure action until after the sheriff's sale was completed.
