At any time any foreclosure case is registered, a structured process follows. In a judicial state, foreclosure begins as it is filed; in a non-judicial system, foreclosure begins once the Notice of Trustee Sales or the Notice of Default is filed. The beginning marks the pre-foreclosure stage, or the preparation before the actual handling of the case -the time when you can make the most money out of the case.
Ordering a Trustee Sale Guarantee (TSG): This is another name for a Title Report.
There must be a notice sent to every single person with interest in the property being foreclosed -As in anyone and everyone with a lien on the property, even a mechanic’s lien, or anyone with a second mortgage. This is to inform all parties concerned with the real property.
Substitution of trustee: In a non-judicial state, there is always a Substitution of Trustee. This stems from the three tiered approach, which consists of:
The Trustor, or the person who borrowed the money, The Trustee, the beneficiary, The Trustee, who handles all the transaction pertinent to foreclosure
You may see a Substitution of Trustee posted at the County Recorder’s Office. This trustee only handles foreclosures and will follow the process to the end.
Posting of legal notices -It is required by law, that information that can be made public be posted. These legal notices offer an overview of the case including the parties involved and the property being foreclosed. Some states even have “county recorders” or special legal newspapers on which these kinds of notices are posted for public consumption. It’s also imperative to post a notice on the property itself.
Maintaining constant contact -Constant contact should be maintained with the title company to ensure that no liens remain attached to the property being foreclosed. Bankruptcy can put a halt to the foreclosure, as bankruptcy is handled by federal law, superseding state law.
Credit Bid -The beneficiary or mortgagee must prepare a credit bid -the starting amount at the county auction.
It is determined by the principal balance of the property, including all arrearages:
Bank Interest, Penalties, All legal fees. Arrears can include homeowner fees, and second mortgages. In a judicial system, it’s the attorney who will handle the preparation of the credit bid; in a non-judicial system, it’s the trustee.
Payment-includes reinstating the loan, a task reserved for the owner. Suspension or cancellation of the sale -This can be done at any time by the mortgagee or beneficiary, provided prior arrangements have been made with the owner.
Notice of Trustee Sale. This notice contains when and where the auction will be held. It also contains the legal property description -available in the County Tax Assessor’s Office. As a legal document, care should be taken to match the actual address with the document -note that addresses change over a period of time.
Due-on-Sale Clause: A Due on Sale clause in a mortgage is a demand that the borrower pay off the loan in full, if the house is ever sold or transferred. The lender cannot prevent the sale, but can demand the payment in full of the loan balance, which often has the same practical effect.
Should there be no due on sale clause, the loan is usually assumable even without the consent of the lender -as older VA and FHA loans are. This will have a considerable effect on the sale of the foreclosed property, an effect that will be beneficial to you. The bank will, in all likelihood, be unaware of the transfer, if you get the deed during the pre-foreclosure stage of the process -provided all payments are being met. If you acquire the property and immediately sell it, or even later, the requirements for paying off the loan can easily be fulfilled then.
