Tennessee is a non-judicial foreclosure state, with foreclosure generally following the deed of trust power-of-sale process. Our team helps homeowners in Lawrence County understand the state process, explore loss mitigation, and review loan modification and negotiated settlement options.
Act Early
Tennessee foreclosures generally move through a non-judicial, deed-of-trust power-of-sale process. Understanding the timing and starting the conversation early can make a meaningful difference in the options still available to you.
Non-judicial foreclosure in Tennessee relies on the terms of your deed of trust and the statutory notice period. Once a foreclosure notice is published, the number of practical steps you can take on your own can narrow quickly.
Lenders and servicers commonly offer loss mitigation options in Tennessee, including loan modification and negotiated settlement. The earlier you engage, the more complete a loss-mitigation review can be.

How It Works
Tennessee generally uses a non-judicial foreclosure process under the power-of-sale clause in a deed of trust. Here is an overview of how the process commonly works.
The process typically begins after payments fall behind and the loan goes into default under the terms of the promissory note and deed of trust.
The lender or trustee may send notices regarding the default and the intent to initiate the non-judicial process under the deed of trust.
A notice of the foreclosure sale is prepared and published in accordance with Tennessee law and the terms of the deed of trust.
The sale is conducted by the trustee under the power of sale, with the property offered to satisfy the debt secured by the deed of trust.
Tennessee law provides for a redemption period following the sale, during which certain parties may be able to redeem the property.
After the sale and redemption period, title to the property may transfer to the successful bidder, subject to applicable law.
The exact timing and steps vary based on your loan documents, your lender, and your individual circumstances. A review of your situation can help you understand where you stand.
