Terms of Foreclosure Beginning With "I-K"

 

Indemnify

Any losses or damages suffered by another person that you are fully responsible for.

Instrument

A written legal document that can be used against you in a court of law.

Involuntary Lien

A lien issued against a property without the owners approval. This can be done when you are in pre-foreclosure and your bank is trying to work with you an provides you with a loan to catch your account back up to current. They may put an involuntary lien on your title as security for this catch up loan.

Joint Ownership

When two or more parties own the same property in whole or in part.

Joint Venture

A project, primarily in business, where two or more persons take part in a business type transaction to share the cost, risk, and reward as a result. This usually happens when someone has a great idea but no money and another person just has the money. They get together and make good things happen. Much like a partnership.

Judgment

A final court decision that resolves the dispute and determining the rights and obligations of two or more parties.

Judicial Foreclosure

A judicial foreclosure is a foreclosure that results from a court action rather than from the power of sale given to a trustee. Judicial type foreclosures happen when a deed of trust or mortgage deed does not have a power of sale clause, thus forcing the lender to take the debtor to court. This is opposite of a non-judicial foreclosure, in which a foreclosure can be completed outside the court system.

Junior Lien

A lien that is subordinate or junior to a senior lien. For instance, if you use your home or title as security for another loan, a second lien will go on your title and will be considered junior to your original lien.
