Talk to Someone TodayMost Virginia residential mortgages use a deed of trust. Here's a general look at how the process can unfold and what attention points matter along the way.
When payments are missed, the loan can be treated as in default under the deed of trust. The trustee may be instructed to begin the foreclosure process, and the borrower may receive notice about the outstanding debt.
The trustee may advertise and schedule a public auction of the property. The specific timing, advertising, and procedure are governed by the deed of trust and Virginia law. Acting before the auction is often the practical window for exploring options.
If the property is sold to the highest bidder, ownership can transfer through the trustee's deed. Any potential deficiency concerns and redemption or other rights are governed by Virginia statutes, and those rights can depend heavily on the specifics of the case.
