What is the Arizona trustee’s sale process?
When a borrower doesn’t perform their financial obligations, a lender may legally seize and sell a home or other property. This method is generically referred to as a foreclosure. There are two types of mortgage foreclosures in Arizona:
- The trustee’s sale procedure is the most used in Arizona. When the lender decides to use a trustee’s sale to foreclose on the borrower’s property, there are laws governing the process. Normally the trustee’s sale, in comparison to other processes, is cheaper and quicker (at least 90 days). In this method, there is no court involvement.
- The second process is a judicial foreclosure. This is a court procedure. Therefore, it is more expensive and takes longer. The advantage for the lender is that a deficiency action could be brought against the borrower or guarantor. The homeowners’ association (“HOA”), or those who purchased back taxes may also use this court process.
- The sheriff’s sale comes after the judicial foreclosure. As was already mentioned, the process begins in court. The task of selling the property is then given to the sheriff.

The right to file Bankruptcy bankruptcy is Protected by the United States Constitutional.
As early as 1789, Congress was authorized by the US Constitution’s Art. 1, Section 8, Clause 4 to enact bankruptcy laws to assist all citizens in obtaining a fresh start. The first bankruptcy law was enacted in 1800. Clearly, this option has been viewed as an important tool for protecting our citizens. As a result, you should never feel obligated to apologize to me or anyone else for exercising your constitutional rights.
