# Withdraw Remaining Funds

Builds the unsigned transaction that withdraws whatever balance remains in the escrow contract after settlement — for example dust from rounding, or an over-funded amount.

> Sweeps any leftover balance once the escrow is fully processed. Same \`DistributionV2Dto\` shape as \`/resolve-dispute\`.

```

## Field notes

* Only meaningful when the contract still holds a balance after the escrow's lifecycle completed — the contract rejects it otherwise.
* Withdrawal is blocked while a dispute is active.

## What this endpoint returns

`unsignedXdr` + `txHash` — sign the XDR **exactly as returned** and submit it via [Send Transaction](/trustless-work/v2-en/api-rest/stellar/send-transaction.md). Full flow example on the [Deploy](/trustless-work/v2-en/api-rest/deploy/initialize-escrow.md) page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.trustlesswork.com/trustless-work/v2-en/api-rest/deploy/withdraw-remaining-funds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
