Legal Rights of the Homeowner in a Power of Sale
During a power of sale process, homeowners have certain rights, including:
Right to Redeem - The homeowner can stop the power of sale by paying the outstanding mortgage balance and associated costs before the sale.
Right to Notice - The lender must provide the homeowner with a Notice of Sale at least 15 days after the default and 35 days before the sale.
Right to Surplus Funds - If the proceeds of the sale exceed the outstanding mortgage balance and associated costs, the homeowner is entitled to receive the surplus funds.
Right to Legal Representation - Homeowners have the right to legal representation throughout the power of sale process.
Right to Challenge the Sale - Homeowners have the right to challenge the sale if they believe the property was sold for an unfair price or if there were errors in the power of sale process.
Preventing Power of Sale
Preventing a power of sale is possible through several methods. Homeowners can refinance their mortgage, negotiate with their lender, or sell their home before the power of sale process begins. It’s essential to act quickly to have more options available and potentially stop the power of sale.
