Foreclosure Review

  • Mortgages and Deeds of Trust are both recognized in Rhode Island.
  • Only Mortgages and Deeds of Trust the contain a Power of Sale Clause may be foreclosed non-judicially.

Judicial Foreclosure

This type of foreclosure is not as common in Rhode Island.

Non-Judicial Foreclosure

  • Non-Judicial foreclosure in Rhode Island is similar to other New England states which differs somewhat from non-judicial foreclosure in other states.
  • Review of a non-judicial foreclosure requires review of the foreclosure deed and several documents that are typically recorded with the foreclosure deed. Key documents are:
    • Statutory Form of Foreclosure Deed Under Power of Sale in Mortgage
    • Affidavit of Sale Under Power of Sale in Mortgage
    • Affidavit of Exemptions (if applicable)
    • NOTE: This list does not cover all of the requirements to ensure a valid foreclosure, but the basics that should be reviewed by a title examiner.
  • Foreclosure is commenced outside of the public records, so there will not be any indication of a non-judicial foreclosure in the public records until the foreclosure deed has been recorded.
  • The IRS/USA or any branch of the federal government must be served notice of the foreclosure as required by federal law.
  • Senior liens cannot be discharged in a foreclosure.
  • What service is required on junior lien holders? What is the cutoff date for service requirements?
  • Where and how are properties auctioned?
  • There is no right of redemption in any parties once the sale has been completed except for those given for federal liens.
  • Who prepares and records Foreclosure Deed?
  • When does title become vested?
  • How are evictions against FC Borrowers handled?
