Here is a summary of foreclosure laws and rules for the State of Kansas:
- In Kansas foreclosure law permits lenders to use judicial foreclosure.
- The foreclosure begins with filing the complaint.
- It can take up to 130 days to process the documents and the date of publication must be published for 21 days.
- The redemption period is from 90 to 365 days. The full 365 days is allowed if the borrower has paid one-third or more of the principal.
- A deficiency judgment may be obtained for the difference between the foreclosure sale price and the amount due on the loan. Deficiencies are common in Kansas.
- However, the court may refuse to confirm a sale where the price is not equal to the judgment, which helps prevent abusive deficiency judgments.
- The borrower can redeem any real property sold at foreclosure at any time up to 12 months from the date of sale.
