Foreclosure process and timeline
Most foreclosures in Utah are done without a court case. They follow a process called "nonjudicial foreclosure." This is also sometimes called a "trustee sale." The steps in a nonjudicial foreclosure are below.
Step 1. Account delinquent
If a house owner stops working to make their month-to-month payment on time, their mortgage ends up being delinquent. The loan is now in "default." The lending institution must provide the property owner a Notice of Delinquency and offer them the opportunity to make the past due payments.
Step 2. Preforeclosure notification
The loan provider or loan servicer should send by mail a notification to the property owner providing at least thirty days to become existing on the loan (" cure the default") and supply them a "single point of contact" with which to speak regarding their loan. Utah Code 57-1-24.3
Federal law generally avoids a "mortgage servicer" from starting a foreclosure till the borrower is more than 120 days overdue on the loan. 12 CFR 1024.41
Step 3. Notice of Default (Utah Code 57-1-24)
The foreclosure procedure formally begins when the trustee (a 3rd party, such as an escrow business, bank, or other monetary organization, that holds the legal title to the residential or commercial property up until you settle the quantity you owe) records a Notice of Default at the County Recorder's office. The Notice of Default is different from the Notice of Delinquency.
Within ten days of taping the Notice of Default at the County Recorder's office, the trustee mails a copy of the Notice of Default to anybody who has actually asked for a copy. You must be sent this notice. It is normally sent by registered mail, requiring you to select it up at the post office or for it. If you do not pick it up, the notice will likely still stand. Utah Code 57-1-26( 2 )( a)
The Notice of Default provides you three months to end up being current on the payments, and any late fees, legal charges and collection costs. This is often called "curing the default."
Step 4. Notice of trustee's sale
If you do not cure the default in the 3 month period, the trustee will record a Notice of Sale and:
- mail a copy to you a minimum of 20 days before the sale (if your deed of trust includes a request for notification, which it most likely does).
- publish the Notice of the Sale in a newspaper as soon as a week for three weeks, and.
- publish the Notice of Sale on the residential or commercial property a minimum of 20 days before the sale. Utah Code 57-1-26( 2 )( b) and Utah Code 57-1-25.
You can ask for that the trustee postpone or stop the sale and cancel the Notice of Default by paying the entire loan balance in addition to legal charges and other costs associated with the foreclosure.
Step 5. Foreclosure sale
At the foreclosure sale, the residential or commercial property will be sold to the highest bidder, which is generally the bank that is foreclosing on your mortgage. At the sale, the bank doesn't have to bid money. It can bid the quantity that you owe them and ease you of all further monetary obligation. If the credit bid is the highest bid at the sale, the residential or commercial property then ends up being owned by the lender.
Step 6. Deficiency judgment following sale
Sometimes the residential or commercial property will sell for less than what you owe on the loan. This is called a deficiency. If there is a shortage, the lending institution can sue you in court for the distinction between what you owe on the loan and the quantity the residential or commercial property was cost, plus their expenses. The lending institution needs to sue you within three months after the sale. The quantity of the shortage judgement is restricted to the difference between your total debt on the residential or commercial property and the residential or commercial property's reasonable market price. Utah Code Ann. § 57-1-32
