The Process
Judicial Foreclosure Available: Yes
Non-judicial Foreclosure Available: Yes
The lender may use a deed of trust with a power of sale clause
as the mortgage. This permits the lender to foreclose by following a statutory
procedure for sale without the necessity of filing a lawsuit in court.
Preliminary Notices
Non-judicial Foreclosure
The borrower has three months from the date a notice of default
and election to sell is recorded to perform and cure the default under the deed
of trust. If the borrower fails to do so, then the property will be sold at
foreclosure. Recording A notice of default and election to sell must be
recorded by the deed of trust's trustee.
Mailing
A copy of the notice of default and election to sell must be
mailed certified, return receipt requested, to the borrower and any owner of
the property on the date the notice is recorded. The notice must be mailed to
the last ad dress the lender has, but if the current address of the borrower is
not known, the trustee may send it to the property in foreclosure. The trustee
must send the notice of default and election to sell to the borrower within l(
days of recording the same to anyone who recorded a re quest for such a notice.
Advertising and Posting
Cure: The property must be advertised and
posted in the same manner as for an execution sale.
Sale Procedures: The borrower has 35 days from
the first day following the day on which the notice of default and election to
sell was recorded to cure the default. The borrower ma) cure the default by
performing under the loan agreement Usually this would mean paying the missed
payments or other sums due to the lender, but not the accelerated loan balance.
The time of sale must be specified in the foreclosure notice.
It should be for a time no less than that which would be specified for an
execution sale.
The foreclosure sale may be made at the trustee's office, even
if the office is not in the same county as the property.
The property should be sold in the manner required by law for
the sale of real property on execution.
Special Procedures: The court may issue an
injunction to restrain waste (destruction) of the property during foreclosure.
Deficiency
If the foreclosure fails to generate sufficient proceeds to pay
off what remained due on the loan, then the lender may sue for a deficiency
within three months after the foreclosure sale. A hearing will be held to
determine the market value of the property. Notice of such hearing must be
served at least 15 days before the hearing.
An appraiser may be appointed by the court, on its own motion
or on request, to have the foreclosed property appraised to find the market
value. At the hearing, the greater of the market value or the foreclosure sale
price must be credited against what remained unpaid on the loan.
The court may award a deficiency judgment for the difference.
The deficiency judgment must be sought within six months after the date of
foreclosure. Even if multiple properties are being foreclosed on by the lender,
the deficiency must be sought within two years of the initial foreclosure on
the first of the multiple properties.
Redemption
A deed of trust sale gives the foreclosure purchaser clear
title free of any right of redemption for the old borrower. There is a one year
redemption on judicial sales.
