Foreclosure in Alabama

Alabama foreclosures are almost always non-judicial, under the power-of-sale clause in the mortgage ¹. Notice of sale runs once a week for three weeks in a county newspaper ². The auction is held at the courthouse door between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. ³. Many former owners then have a right to buy the property back: 180 days for a homestead, one year for other property ⁴. For mortgages made since January 1, 2016, the lender must mail notice of that right at least 30 days before the sale ⁴. Talk to an Alabama real estate attorney about the deadlines on your loan.

Probate and inherited houses in Alabama

An inherited Alabama house usually has to clear probate before it can be sold. The exceptions are a deed that already names you as joint owner, or a house held in trust. The Small Estates Act's summary distribution covers personal property only, not real estate ⁵. For a house, expect a standard probate case in the county where the owner lived.

How closings work in Alabama

Only a licensed attorney may prepare the deed and other legal closing documents, or supervise someone who does ⁶. A title company can run the signing appointment, but must refer the parties to their own attorney if a legal question comes up ⁶⁷. Talk to an Alabama real estate attorney about your specific closing.

Can I still sell my house if a foreclosure sale is already scheduled?

Often, yes, if you close before the sale date; the proceeds can pay off the loan ¹. Talk to an Alabama real estate attorney right away to check your specific deadline.
