Commercial property foreclosures can be complex. It’s important to work with an experienced commercial title company to avoid any potential issues throughout the process. In this article, we are going to discuss the basic steps of a commercial foreclosure and talk about how we can help you through the process.

5 Steps of Commercial Foreclosure

In a typical commercial foreclosure, there are five basic steps:

Minutes of Foreclosure
Complaint Procedures
After Judgment
Sale
Issuance of Sheriff’s Deed

During a commercial foreclosure, the foreclosing bank is required by law to give notice to all involved parties (both known and unknown). Tracking down unknown involved parties can be time-consuming and delay the foreclosure process. However, we have the skills and resources to do a detailed search and identify all parties known and unknown – thus keeping the foreclosure on track. In order to eliminate non-record claimant interests, we may use the following tools:

Affidavit
Publication Notice

After a judgment is issued, the title company can immediately issue a title commitment to make sure the foreclosure can move forward in a timely manner, and allow the lender to eventually take title to the property and sell it at a later date.
