Foreclosure Process
Foreclosure
is a process that allows a lender to recover the amount owed on a
defaulted loan by selling or taking ownership (repossession) of the
property securing the loan. |

Judicial Foreclosure:
In the absence of a power of
sale clause in the loan document that authorizes the lender, in event of
default, to sell the property to pay off the loan balance, the lender
must sue the borrower in court to obtain a court order to foreclose.
|
|
|
Non-judicial foreclosure
Requires that a notice of sale
be published weekly in a newspaper of general circulation in the county
in which the property is located for four consecutive weeks and mailed
by certified mail to the borrower at least 15 days prior to the sale
date. |
|

public auction on the first Tuesday of the month at the place designated
