A San Jose bankruptcy attorney answers:
What is Foreclosure?
A foreclosure is the legal process wherein a lender of money and/or collateral, usually a mortgage, attempts to collect on the monies they are owed from the individual by re-taking the property securing the loan. There are typically two types of foreclosure, judicial and non-judicial. In judicial foreclosure, the court supervises the sale of the property foreclosed upon. The lenders are paid in the order of the priority. In non-judicial foreclosure, there is typically a clause in the lending papers which states that the lender can bypass judicial foreclosure and use methods outlines by each state/district’s guidelines. Should the sale of the property not satisfy all liens attached, the lender may file and request a deficiency judgment. The foreclosure process can be stopped by filing for protection under any of the bankruptcy chapters.
