Michigan Foreclosure Law and Procedure

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

  • Lenders can use either a mortgage or deed of trust.
  • Lenders primarily use mortgage and foreclose by trustee sale. In Michigan this is called “foreclosure by advertisement.
  • The borrower may redeem by paying the lender the sum for which the property was sold at foreclosure, plus interest at the same rate as the mortgage.
  • The lender can collect a deficiency if the lender uses a judicial foreclosure. It can also collect a deficiency under a non-judicial foreclosure but the lender’s rights are limited.
If you are interested in reading the actual statutes relevant to mortgage and foreclosure in Michigan those laws are available online.
