Foreclosure Timeline, Consequences, and other Options in Nevada

Josh Talayka | June 3, 2011

Although a foreclosure may be done outside of court, the lender must still adhere to very specific procedures and timeframes that are defined by law. Once all the timeframes and requirements above have been met, the lender may carry out their foreclosure sale (Trustee’s Sale). Following the foreclosure, the lender may still be able to sue the borrower for any deficiency in the amount received from the trustee’s sale.

Foreclosure Timelines in Nevada

A foreclosure is a legal process whereby a lender takes back real property after a borrower has failed to make loan payments. Nevada allows for two different types of foreclosures, judicial foreclosure and non-judicial foreclosure. Each type of foreclosure has different timelines.

However, because non-judicial foreclosures are the most common form of foreclosure in Nevada, the timelines outlined in the link below will refer to those in a non-judicial foreclosure.

Nevada: The Foreclosure Mediation Program

Josh Talayka | March 25, 2010

If you are facing foreclosure on your home in Nevada and a notice of default has been filed on your home, you may be able to get help through The Foreclosure Mediation Program (FMP).

The Foreclosure Mediation Program was established as a result of Assembly Bill 149. The program is a process where a neutral third party (the mediator), the homeowner(s) and Lender attempt to negotiate an alternative to foreclosure. The program is only available on homes that are owner-occupied. However, if you do elect to participate in the mediation program, participation by your lender is mandatory.
