Proceed with obtaining possession, etc.In Reply to: What next? posted by washu on April 15, 2002 at 9:04 PM
: I just bought a forclosure property today. I did my search on title. It is clear of any previous owners, except for the current owners that are in the process of seperation. The husband knew the house is being forclosed today. The wife did not care I guess. In the county public records I found that they have a judgement of $4000 from a creditor. I saw also it said part of that document, Homestead Exempt...(N0).marked. Will this effect my purchase for any reason later on? Can the wife suddenly show up and file for not being aware of default on the note and this all forclosure process? =========== Washu, Homestead has no effect on a foreclosure of a voluntary lien such as a deed of trust. And all the foreclosing trustee has to do is send notice to the trustors at their last known address. Whether the trustors actually receive the notice is irrelevant, as long as the attempt to notify them was made at their last known address. The only liens pertinent to the foreclosure were those that were recorded in the public record prior to the foreclosure auction. Anything that occurred later is of no consequence. You said you searched the title of the property prior to the foreclosure auction. If you did a thorough job and found no recorded federal tax lien then you have nothing to worry about and dont have to wait at all. Hope this helps.
