Type of Document: Mortgage
Types of Foreclosure:
Judicial foreclosure is the only method available to the lender. They
can accomplish this in two ways in the state of Louisiana; executory
or ordinary. The executory method is available if the correct
documents were used at the time the mortgage was signed by the
borrower. This speeds up the foreclosure process considerably. The
advantage to the borrower is that no deficiency judgment can be
sought after this type of foreclosure. Ordinary method involves a
lawsuit also, but the speed is slowed. If the borrower loses, the
property will be sold at a date specified to satisfy the judgment.
Deficiency:Available to lender only if the ordinary method of foreclosure was used.
Redemption:No right of redemption
