In judicial foreclosures for sale the lender usually has to prove in court that the mortgagor is in default of his loan. This can be done by hiring an attorney and telling him to pursue the matter in court. The attorney in turn contacts the mortgagor and asks him to pay up the defaulted amount, which if he or she is unable to do is slapped with a lawsuit to establish the defaulted amount. The lawsuit also allows the mortgaged property to be sold and the proceeds be applied towards the outstanding amount.
A lis pendens (notice of lawsuit pending) in connection with the lawsuit is submitted to the county clerk or public property records repository. The lis pendens notifies the public that an action pending has been filed to recover the defaulted sum, including the sale of the collateral.
Non judicial foreclosure sales are based on deeds of trust which incorporate a power-for-sale clause. This clause enables the lender to sale the collateral property without having to file a lawsuit. The trustee typically has to notify the borrower by issuing a notice of default. If the borrower does not respond then the trustee can take steps towards sale of the collateral property.
The process for foreclosure sale varies from state to state. States that use mortgages use judicial process, whereas states that use deeds of trust resort to non judicial sale.
