In certain cases, deficiency judgments are allowed in Minnesota after a foreclosure.

While they may be allowed in a judicial foreclosure proceeding, the amount of the judgment may be limited by the fair market value of the property that was foreclosed on. Homeowners have the right to a jury trial to determine the fair market value of the property.

If nonjudicial foreclosure is used with a power of sale clause in a deed of trust, and the six month redemption period is available to the homeowners after foreclosure, a deficiency judgment is not allowed.

Minnesota statutes relating to foreclosure of real estate are located at the following place in the state laws:

Minn. Stat. sections 580.01 to 580.30

If the sellers sold the home for as much as they owed on the loan, there is no possibility for a deficiency judgment, since there is no deficiency. If the sale was through a short sale where the bank took less than it was owed but allowed the homeowners to sell and walk away, the bank would have to sue for the deficiency judgment.


Can your wages be garnished if in foreclosure?

Banks can not garnish a homeowner's wages during the foreclosure process. This is because the real estate is collateral for the loan. Thus, the bank will have to take the property all the way through the foreclosure and have it sold at a county sheriff sale. This is the legal mechanism by which the bank is allowed to attempt to recover the amount it is owed on the loan. If the sheriff sale pays off the mortgage in full, there is nothing further to collect. If the property does not sell for enough to pay the loan off completely, some states allow mortgage companies to sue for a deficiency judgment after the foreclosure. Again, not all states allow this under the foreclosure laws, but it would give banks the right to garnish wages after the foreclosure, if they decide to sue for the judgment. Banks rarely, if ever, sue former clients for deficiency judgments, though, because they know foreclosure victims do not have a lot of extra cash to pay down another judgment after losing their homes. It would take the bank too much time and money to sue again, when they didn't collect very much on their original foreclosure lawsuit.


How do you collect a lien on property not worth as much as the lien?

In order to collect on the lien, you will need to see a real estate attorney and have the lien foreclosed. In some states, deficiency judgments are allowed (meaning that if the property is worth less than the lien, then any unsatisfied portion of the foreclosure judgment could be executed on other property of the defendants). See the phone book for real estate attorneys who give "free consultations."

What happens to you in foreclosure of your condominium?

When your condominium is foreclosed upon, the lender assumes ownership of the unit. You may be able to work with the lender to finalize a date by which you will vacate the property; it's unreasonable that you should be allowed to maintain a household in the unit if you do not own it.
