Posted by Gary on June 14, 2003 at 9:55 AM In Reply to: Non-exemption still stands... posted by Ward-CA- on June 12, 2003 at 9:11 PM : : Ward, : : Doesn't this Q&A at http://www.legalwiz.com/board.htm suggest otherwise? : : 29. Can a junior lien holder foreclose without triggering a due-on-sale on the senior mortgage? - Top : : The answer is "yes." Several court cases considered the issue and reasoned as follows: if a mortgage lien permits the borrower to further encumber the property with junior liens (ie, a 2nd mortgage), the the default and foreclosure of a junior lien is a reasonable consequence thereof. Thus, a 2nd lien holder can foreclose, take title subject to the 1st mortgage, and the due-on-sale has not been triggered. - Updated: July 12, 2002 : : David : =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= : David, : The supreme law of the land is federal law. And in my reply to your post I cited the federal Garn-St. Germain Depository Institutions Act wherein Congress allows the imposition of the due-on-sale clause in all cases with just nine exemptions, and taking title via the foreclosure sale of a junior lien is not one of them. : Look up the Garn-St. Germain regs. and you’ll come to the same inescapable conclusion. : Hope this helps. Ward: As a practical matter, is it not rare that the senior liens foreclose if the winning bidders reinstate the senior liens and make monthly payments on a timely basis.
