Foreclosures

The legal process by which an owner’s right to a property is terminated, usually due to default.  Typically involves a forced sale of the property at public auction, with the proceeds being applied to the mortgage debt.

Orange County

Effective November 7, 2011, motions and orders for sale cancellation must be filed with the Clerk’s office no later than 4 p.m. the business day before the scheduled sale date.  For cancellation requests on the actual sale date, counsel must appear before the Judge at 9 a.m. to seek cancellation of the sale.

If a hearing is set by an attorney on Wednesday without coordination with opposing counsel and the foreclosure court specialist, the hearing will be cancelled by the Court.

When a motion and order is e-filed, it is automatically sent to the Judicial Assistant in the division to which the case is assigned.  Your motion and order will then be electronically reassigned to Marjorie Pemberton, the Court Program Specialist in the Foreclosure division.  If you e-file your document, please do not send a courtesy copy to the Judicial Assistant, Clerk’s Office, or Marjorie Pemberton in the Foreclosure division.
