Foreclosure procedure and timeline


Most foreclosures in Utah are done without a court case. They follow a process referred to as "nonjudicial foreclosure." This is also in some cases called a "trustee sale." The actions in a nonjudicial foreclosure are listed below.


Step 1. Account delinquent


If a property owner fails to make their month-to-month payment on time, their mortgage ends up being overdue. The loan is now in "default." The loan provider needs to provide the house owner a Notification of Delinquency and provide the chance to make the past due payments.


Step 2. Preforeclosure notification


The lender or loan servicer need to send by mail a notification to the property owner providing a minimum of one month to end up being current 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 usually prevents a "mortgage servicer" from initiating a foreclosure till the customer is more than 120 days past due on the loan. 12 CFR 1024.41


Step 3. Notice of Default (Utah Code 57-1-24)


The foreclosure process officially starts when the trustee (a 3rd celebration, such as an escrow company, bank, or other banks, that holds the legal title to the residential or commercial property up until you settle the quantity you owe) records a Notification of Default at the County Recorder's office. The Notice of Default is different from the Notice of Delinquency.


Within 10 days of tape-recording the Notice of Default at the County Recorder's office, the trustee sends by mail a copy of the Notice of Default to anybody who has actually asked for a copy. You ought to be sent this notification. It is typically sent by registered mail, needing you to choose it up at the post office or sign for it. If you do not select it up, the notification will likely still be legitimate. Utah Code 57-1-26( 2 )( a)


The Notice of Default offers you three months to end up being current on the payments, and any late charges, legal charges and collection charges. This is in some cases called "curing the default."


Step 4. Notice of trustee's sale


If you do not treat the default in the 3 month period, the trustee will tape-record a Notification of Sale and:


- mail a copy to you a minimum of 20 days before the sale (if your deed of trust includes an ask for notice, 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 at least 20 days before the sale. Utah Code 57-1-26( 2 )( b) and Utah Code 57-1-25.


You can request that the trustee postpone or stop the sale and cancel the Notice of Default by paying the entire loan balance as well as legal costs and other costs connected with the foreclosure.

At the sale, the bank doesn't have to bid money. It can bid the amount that you owe them and alleviate you of all additional financial obligation. If the credit bid is the highest bid at the sale, the residential or commercial property then ends up being owned by the lending institution.


Step 6. Deficiency judgment following sale


Sometimes the residential or commercial property will cost less than what you owe on the loan. This is called a deficiency. If there is a deficiency, the lending institution can sue you in court for the difference in between what you owe on the loan and the amount the residential or commercial property was cost, plus their expenses. The lender should sue you within three months after the sale. The quantity of the deficiency judgement is limited to the distinction 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
