The mortgage lender can start the power of sale once a mortgage has been in default for more than 15 days. You will receive a letter giving you about 35 days to pay listed fees before a “statement of claim” is issued. If you fail to pay the statement of claim, the lender will issue a “writ of possession” after which they will evict you. A power of sale is a time sensitive process for the borrower but lenders prefer it for it is much faster. A foreclosure process may take long with multiple court appearances and high legal fees. For a power of sale, the owner gets any money remaining from a deal as the lender doesn’t get title to the property. This is different from a foreclosure where the home and equity left are lost to the lender.
