In Wyoming, a mortgage or trust deed containing a power of sale
may be foreclosed by private sale or by judicial foreclosure. Because
it is more expeditious, private sale is the normal method of foreclosure.
Generally, a mortgage, as opposed to a deed of trust, must be judicially
foreclosed.
A private 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 and mailing. The
means of notice is a written notice.
A trustee's foreclosure sale is held at the county courthouse.
It cannot be held earlier than forty-five days after the notice
is recorded. There is no statutory right to reinstate. Practically,
up to the time of sale, this right may be extended.
A trustee's foreclosure sale may only be continued from time to
time by a published notice. After a trustee's sale, there is a right
of redemption, in addition to that provided by federal law (e.g.
IRS liens). The redemption right is for three months, unless the
property is agricultural which creates a twelve (12) month redemption
right. After judicial foreclosure sales, these same redemption rights
exist.
Deficiencies are permitted in Wyoming. |
