What Is Foreclosure?
Foreclosure happens when a homeowner defaults on their home loan payments, tyoically this leads to the property being seized by the bank or sold at auction. Usually a notice will be filed after missing 3-4 house payments.
What is the Foreclosure Process in Utah?
- A judicial foreclosure requires the lender to obtain a writ of execution that requires the homeowner to sell the home to pay off the debt to the lender
- The county sheriff schedules steps that lead to a foreclosure auction sale
- The deed of the home is awarded to the highest bidder after a period of 6 months – during which time; the property owner can reclaim the property. In order to get a home back from the auction purchaser, you must repay an amount equal to 106% for which the property was sold for.
