The Foreclosure Process
This is the time line of the California foreclosure process.
Santa Cruz, California bank foreclosed homes may differ in their process than other states. Please consult a local real estate professsional or attorney for your situation. The process and time lines may be different.
Foreclosure is a legal procedure used by lenders to recover their
investment when borrowers fail to make payments required under a
promissory note secured by a deed of trust. In most cases, foreclosures
are handled by Independent Trustees who act as neutral third parties.
Any irregularity in the statutory provisions which govern foreclosures
can invalidate the trustee's sale. For this reason, lenders will want a
trustee who is accurate, knowledgeable, and experienced in dealing with
these types of circumstances.
The process begins with recordation of a Notice of Default. The minimum
time allowed by law is three months and twenty one days.
If you are thinking you may be having this process started on your home call 1-888-995-4673 ( HOPE) and find out what they can offer.
If you are in the process of a foreclosure, you may want to consult and attorney regarding your rights, as well as the bank doing the foreclosing to see what your alternatives are. Please do not ignore the bank. A foreclosure will remain on your record for 10 years and the credit consequences will cost you in higher interest rates in the future.
