Delaware Foreclosure Law and Procedures

Here is a summary of foreclosure laws and rules for the State of Delaware:

  • Lenders use a mortgage and foreclose judicially. Non-judicial foreclosures are not used.
  • There is no right of redemption but the sale can be contested until it is confirmed by the court.
  • The lender can pursue a deficiency by a number of methods, including filing a separate action to collect on the promissory note. The lender can sue on the promissory note and pursue foreclosure simultaneously. The lender can only collect the full balance that it is owed.
