Some states allow only one type of foreclosure and some allows both. Let us understand briefly, what does judicial foreclosure means?

When the trust deed or mortgage deed does not specify anything regarding power of sale clause, this compels the lender to take the borrower to court. When the lender files appropriate legal action by taking borrower to court, in case of default is said to be judicial foreclosure.

If the court finds the case in favor of lender’s debt valid, and in default, the judgment will be for receiving lender the full amount of property or total amount owed, including all the cost incurred in foreclosure process. Court will than issue in writing for sheriff’s sale. Sheriff’s sale is a kind of auction opened to anyone, which is held in public place or in front of courthouse steps.
