Alabama foreclosures usually move forward outside of court through the power-of-sale provisions of a mortgage or deed of trust. Exact timing varies by loan and servicer, but the stages below help Cleburne County homeowners understand what generally comes next.
After payments fall behind, the servicer may begin collection contact and send a notice of default.
Alabama law generally requires written notice before acceleration and sale. Exact terms depend on your loan documents.
A sale is typically advertised in a county newspaper of general circulation and posted as required by statute.
If the default is not resolved, a public auction may occur. Post-sale redemption rights may exist depending on the circumstances.
