In Nebraska, a trust deed may be foreclosed by trustee’s sale or by judicial foreclosure. Because it is more expeditious, a trustee’s sale is the normal method of foreclosure. Generally, a mortgage, as opposed to a deed of trust, must be judicially foreclosed.

A trustee’s sale usually begins with the law firm being designated as trustee. Based on the foreclosure report, all interested parties are notified of the sale by publication, mailing, and recording in the real estate records. The means of notice is a written notice of trustee’s sale which must contain a statement of the reasons for the foreclosure, the amount of delinquent principal and interest, and that there is a statutory right to reinstate.

Nebraska is a two- notice state: a thirty (30) day Notice of Default followed by a ninety (90) day Sale Notice. There is a statutory right to cure, which must be exercised before sale.

A trustee’s foreclosure sale may only be continued for one day. After a trustee’s sale, there is no right of redemption, except as may be provided by federal law. (e.g. IRS liens)
After a judicial foreclosure sale, prior to a court order confirming the sale (generally obtained within thirty days of the sale), any liable party may redeem.

Deficiencies are permitted in Nebraska. If the foreclosure was a trustee’s sale, the deficiency suit must be filed within ninety (90) days of the foreclosure sale. If the foreclosure sale was a judicial sale, the deficiency is obtained as part of that process.
