If you don't pay the mortgage the second mortgagee can foreclose and take possession of the real estate subject to the first mortgage. Many of them do just that.

Can a second mortgage holder foreclose on a first bank mortgage holder?
yes, but it rarely happens.
Why does the second mortgage holder have to approve of the first mortgage refinance?
The second mortgage holder typically needs to approve the first mortgage refinance because they hold a subordinate position to the first mortgage. Refinancing the first mortgage could impact the second mortgage holder's position, so their consent is often required to make changes to the primary loan.
What recourse does a second mortgage holder have when the first mortgage goes into foreclosure?
Hate to tell you, but in my state (WA), if a senior deed of trust or mortgage is foreclosed, then the inferior/junior mortgages and/or deeds of trust are foreclosed as well. That means that you have no recourse subsequent to a foreclosure. I suggest seeing an attorney immediately (see the phone book for one who gives "free consultations").
Is California a non recourse debt state?
California is a non recourse state for your first mortgage. Be aware any form of second mortgage you will still be liable for.You may also be liable on the first mortgage if you have refinanced your original purchase mortgage.
What rights does the second mortgage holder have if the first mortgage payments are up to date?
If the second mortgage is in default the second mortgagee can foreclose and take possession of the property subject to the first mortgage.

No, the first lien hold cannot claim or collect any monies from the 2nd lien holder. The lien holders sole recourse is with the borrower.

Can a second mortgage foreclose without letting the first mortgage know?
The only way would be for the 2nd mortgage holder to "buy out" or "pay off" the 1st mortgage holder. Even then, I believe most states require that the 1st mortgage holder receive notification.
Can the second mortgage holder force the sell of your home?
Yes. If you do not pay the 2nd mortgage, you can lose your home in a foreclosure sale. The difference between the first and 2nd mortgage holder in that case varies according to the unit of government. The law in the United States is according to state law. At one time in this state, the first mortgage holder had certain rights concerning whether or not to foreclose. There was a time period when the first mortgage holder had the chance to try to sell the first mortgage or something like that. I have not kept up with all the changes in the law involving second mortgages. Still, when there is a foreclosure, the first mortgage holder gets paid off first. If there is anything left, the second mortgage holder gets paid. Some commercial property has as much as a fifth mortgage.

With second mortgage holder asking the homeowner to sign a deficiency judgment isn't this lien dropped if the home is foreclosed and goes to public auction?
HOMEOWNER SHOULD SIGN NOTHING...the 2nd mortgage is cut off in the foreclosure action against the 1st mortgage as it affects real property...if the 2nd mortgager holder is looking for a signature, then they should get it from the judge
If you have a second mortgage but your first mortgage was foreclosed on do you still have to pay back the second or would it be rolled into the first mortgage?
Once the primary mortgage forecloses and the property is sold at auction, the 2nd mortgage becomes just another unsecured debt. If the 2nd lender received no funds from the sale of the property, then you ARE liable for the full balance of the 2nd mortgage - plus interest when it goes delinquent. Use care, this will differ depending on the state, but it's not uncommon for the 2nd mortgage note holder to use any means necessary to get back their loan amount, including foreclosure. Often a second mortgage note holder will attempt to purchase the primary note. One potential issue can play out as follows: * A homeowner finds themselves in financial trouble. * They successfully negotiate a payment plan with their primary lender, but remain in default against their second mortgage loan. * The second lien holder then purchases the primary mortgage (which is still in good standing) and forecloses. * Homeowner finds themselves losing their home to the 2nd mortgage lender.
