As a title theory state, Alabama foreclosures are generally power of sale type. However, pre foreclosure and judicial foreclosures also occur here. Mortgages and security agreement are the two legal instruments that empower lenders to initiate foreclosure without judicial intervention. Mortgages (Deed of Trust) are integral to home equity loans while security agreement comes with commercial loans. These legal instruments make the lender an equal lien holder of the property till the borrower does not repay it completely. However, while the repayment is going on, the title of the property remains with public trustee.

Non-repayment or default on part of the borrower will lead to the initiation of foreclosure by the lender. However, before initiating the lender has to give an interim time period of 20 days to the borrower for repayment. Otherwise, the lender in association with public trustee issues the advertisement of foreclosure sale in local newspapers. These advertisements appear once a week for three weeks. All details related to auction like date, place, security amount and grace period to make the final payment are given in the advertisement. Depending upon the notices and redemption period of the loan, the foreclosure process in Alabama takes 60-90 days to effectuate.
