Kansas mortgage foreclosure
A Kansas mortgage foreclosure goes through district court. After the lender wins a judgment, the house is sold at a sheriff’s sale, usually at the county courthouse, after notice is published once a week for three weeks. The court then confirms the sale. Before the sale, a home sale may still be possible if the payoff and required title and closing steps can be completed in time.
After the court confirms a mortgage foreclosure sale, you can generally keep the home by paying the redemption amount within 12 months, or within three months if you defaulted before one-third of the original senior debt was paid. If all outstanding mortgages and liens total less than one-third of the home’s market value, the court gives you 12 months. A court may add three months if you involuntarily lose your main income after the sale and before the three-month period ends. Abandoning the home can shorten or end the redemption period. You can generally stay in the home during that period.
The rules include K.S.A. 60-2410 on mortgage foreclosure and sheriff-sale procedure, K.S.A. 60-2414 on redemption after sale, and K.S.A. 60-2415 on additional redemption time in some cases.
