In this section

• Foreclosure Processes and Sale Methods
  Foreclosure process terms used to distinguish judicial, non-judicial, trustee-sale, and tax-foreclosure paths.
  • Foreclosure
    Legal enforcement process that lets a mortgage lender recover a defaulted home loan by taking and selling the collateral property.
  • Judicial Foreclosure
    Foreclosure path that requires court supervision before the lender can complete the sale of a defaulted mortgaged property.
  • Non-Judicial Foreclosure
    Foreclosure path that lets a lender or trustee sell mortgaged property without a full court case when the loan documents permit it.
  • Tax Foreclosure: Process of Enforcing a Lien Against Property for Nonpayment of Delinquent Property Taxes
    Tax foreclosure is the legal process by which a taxing authority enforces a lien against property for the nonpayment of delinquent property taxes. This ensures the government recovers owed taxes, superior to other liens.
  • Trustee Sale
    Public foreclosure sale conducted by a trustee under a deed of trust after required default and notice steps have been completed.
• Redemption Rights, Power of Sale, and Credit Bids
  Mortgage-distress terms covering lender credit bids, power-of-sale rights, and borrower redemption periods.
  • Credit Bid: Definition and Explanation
    A credit bid is when a secured creditor bids up to the amount of their debt in a bankruptcy auction. This allows the creditor to purchase the asset without paying cash to the debtor.
  • Power of Sale
    Mortgage or deed-of-trust clause that lets a lender or trustee sell collateral after default without a full judicial foreclosure case.
  • Redemption Period
    Time window in which a borrower or former owner may still reclaim foreclosed property by paying the required amount under applicable law.
  • Right of Redemption
    Borrower right to reclaim mortgaged property by paying the required amount before foreclosure sale and, in some places, for a limited time after sale.
