Overview

In Arkansas, the primary method ofdeed of trustforeclosure isnon-judicial. However, if adeed of trust does not contain thepower of sale language or a standard mortgage is used, the lender may seekjudicial foreclosure.

There is a rather lengthy notice and cure period between the time a property owner receives anotice of default until the property is sold at apublic foreclosure auction sale - usually about four (4) months or more. Accordingly, don't wait until the property becomesReal Estate Owned (REO) after the auction because the property will cost more than it would inpreforeclosure.
