Foreclosure
is the legal and professional proceeding in which a mortgagee, or other
lien holder, usually a lender, obtains a court ordered termination of a
mortgagor's equitable right of redemption. Usually a lender obtains a
security interest from a borrower who mortgages or pledges an asset like
a house to secure the loan. If the borrower defaults and the lender
tries to repossess the property, courts of equity can grant the borrower
the equitable right of redemption if the borrower repays the debt. While
this equitable right exists, the lender cannot be sure that it can
successfully repossess the property, thus the lender seeks to foreclose
the equitable right of redemption. Other lien holders can also foreclose
the owner's right of redemption for other debts, such as for overdue
taxes, unpaid contractors' bills or overdue homeowners' association dues
or assessments.
The foreclosure process as applied to residential mortgage loans is a
bank or other secured creditor selling or repossessing a parcel of real
property (immovable property) after the owner has failed to comply with
an agreement between the lender and borrower called a "mortgage" or
"deed of trust". Commonly, the violation of the mortgage is a default in
payment of a promissory note, secured by a lien on the property. When
the process is complete, the lender can sell the property and keep the
proceeds to pay off its mortgage and any legal costs, and it is
typically said that "the lender has foreclosed its mortgage or lien". If
the promissory note was made with a recourse clause then if the sale
does not bring enough to pay the existing balance of principal and fees
the mortgagee can file a claim for a deficiency judgment.
