Judicial vs Non-Judicial Foreclosure

In a judicial foreclosure state, the lender typically files a lawsuit and the court process plays a major role. In a non-judicial foreclosure state, the lender may proceed without filing a full court lawsuit if it follows notice, advertising, and sale requirements.

Where Georgia Falls

Georgia is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state. Georgia resources explain that foreclosure sales are generally held on the first Tuesday of the month.

Redemption Rights

Some homeowners move from states where there may be broader redemption rights after foreclosure. Georgia is typically different.
