Avoiding Foreclosure and What You Need To Know!
In Canada, the two main ways a lender can recover a mortgage debt after a borrower defaults is by Judicial sale or power of sale. A Judicial sale is a sale conducted with court approval and jurisdiction. The lender must apply to the court to get the court’s permission to sell the property. A power of sale allows a lender to sell property without court approval. The lender has the right to sell the property under the mortgage document and/or provincial laws authorizing power of sale for each province.
Power of sale is used as the lender’s primary method of recovery in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Ontario.
