Layton Foreclosures and Deficiency Judgment Attorney
LeBaron & Jensen are in Layton, Utah and they are foreclosure and deficiency judgment attorneys. Their teams of attorneys work with efficiency to assist you in your pursuit of legal options in order to save your home.
There are Two Types of Foreclosure and Deficiency in Utah.
- Judicial Foreclosure: The lender files the complaint against the borrower for not paying the monthly mortgage. The lender also has to receive a decree of sale from the court that has jurisdiction in the country where your property is located. This has to be done before foreclosure proceedings can begin. Assuming that the court finds the borrower at fault; the court will then set a time period for the borrower to pay. If the borrower is not able to pay then the court orders the property to be sold.
- Non–Judicial Foreclosure: This is the most common foreclosure and happens when the mortgage or deed of trust includes a power of sale clause. This clause is the pre-authorization from the borrower to pay the balance of the property off with the property sale if the borrower is in default of their loan. When a power of sale exists in a mortgage or deeds of trust, the lender is given the authority to sell the property.

Deficiency Judgments
A property owner can decide that their monthly loan payment is too hard to make and they need to move one. Usually there are three things that happen:
-
- Home is to be sold in foreclosure
-
- Sell home in a short sale
- Transfer the title to the lender directly with a deed in lieu of foreclosure
If for some reason the property is sold for less than the amount owed, the borrower still owes the bank for the deficiency. There are several deficiency judgments depending on how the home is sold and LeBaron and Jensen can help you determine what is best for you!
