Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Tyler A. Moore, Barrick, Switzer, Long, Balsley & Van Evera, Rockford, for Harold J. Strandell.

James M. Kiss, Kiss, Ryan & Anderson, Ltd., P.C., Carpentersville, for Cardunal Investment Group, Inc.


Justice BOWMAN delivered the opinion of the court:

At issue in this case is whether the trial court abused its discretion by distributing surplus funds from the sale of foreclosed property to third-party purchasers-appellees Cardunal Investment Group, Inc., and Patina, Ltd. (collectively Cardunal), for the payment of real estate taxes. We conclude that the trial court abused its discretion by doing so, and therefore, we reverse and remand.
