Foreclosure Laws
Five years after purchasing the house from Mike, Danny realized that he could not meet his obligation to We Like to Lend Money, Inc., because he would not be able to pay the balloon payment. Though he had paid every interest-only payment on time, he did not have any money for this final obligation.
Danny was discouraged, so he asked his mother for a loan so that he could travel around the world to think. His mother agreed to loan him $20,000. She prepared a mortgage instrument and Danny consented to all of its terms. They both signed the mortgage, and Danny’s mother properly recorded it. This mortgage was to be amortized over 30 years at 5% interest.
Shortly thereafter, Danny decided that he was moving to Tahiti, and he packed his bags and left. He refused to make any additional payments to any of his creditors.
Assume that We Like to Lend Money, Inc. commenced foreclosure proceedings after Danny failed to pay the balloon payment.
Question:
- Describe the process for foreclosure.
- Specify the payout to each party and your reasoning.
