FORECLOSURE AND NOTICE OF SALE

Foreclosure notice of sale, on the statutory schedule.

Before a property goes to auction, the law requires a public notice with the date, place and terms of the sale. We place it where the property is located and send the affidavit for the trustee or court file.

How notices of sale work

Rules change by state and county. These are common examples; we confirm the exact rule for your case with your quote.

01

What a notice of sale is

Before a property is sold at auction, the law requires a public notice with the date, place and terms of the sale.

Who publishes it: Lenders, trustees, servicers and the attorneys who represent them.

Example

California: a notice of trustee’s sale runs once a week for three weeks, the first at least 20 days before the sale.

Where it runs

A newspaper of general circulation where the property is located.

Proof you receive

Affidavit of publication for the trustee or court file.

02

Rules by state

  • California (non-judicial): the notice of trustee’s sale is published once a week for three consecutive weeks, the first at least 20 days before the sale.
  • Florida (judicial): the notice of sale runs once a week for two consecutive weeks, the second at least five days before the sale.
  • Other states: the deed of trust, the statute or the court order sets the schedule.

Volume work for law firms and trustees is billed by invoice.

Typical timeline
