Judicial Versus Non-Judicial Foreclosures

Washington State law provides an option for creditors who experience a debtor default. They may proceed typically (in court) or non-judicially (not in court). The decision is made by the debt holder (creditor) not the debtor (typically property owner).

Our attorneys have vast experience in both procedures and are able to counsel a creditor and initially advise them, given their specific circumstances, a better manner of proceeding. Much goes into that analysis and our attorneys are great at communicating the benefits and deterrence of the various processes available.

In a judicial proceeding the creditor involves the Washington Superior Court in foreclosing the property. That is a long process and used less often today because of its cost and the length of time it takes to accomplish. If a creditor opts to proceed judicially, one can assume that there was a very specific reason for doing so.

In our practice by far the vast majority of our creditors opt to move forward non-judicially as the cost is more reasonable and the length of time to complete considerably shorter. Our office plays a role under either method in moving either method of foreclosure forward properly and professionally.

We also represent debtors in this area of practices. As we have such broad-based experience in representing creditors, we know all the strategies that debtors may use to protect themselves when they are faced with defending a foreclosure action.

Our office accepts both creditor clients as well as debtor clients. Of course, however not in the same action.
