Judicial

In a judicial foreclosure state, the lender must go through the court system in order to foreclose on a property. This process can be longer and more expensive for the lender compared to a non-judicial foreclosure.

Title companies, lenders, real estate agents, and attorneys handle closings. Conveyance is by warranty deed. Mortgages are the customary security instruments. Judicial foreclosures are required; execution of judgments varies from 3 months after filing of the complaint in cases involving mortgages drawn up since July 1, 1975, to 6 months for those drawn up between January 1, 1958, and July 1, 1975, to 12 months for those drawn up before that. Immediately following the execution sale, the highest bidder receives a sheriff’s deed. Hoosiers use ALTA policies and certain endorsements. Buyers usually pay closing costs and the lender’s title insurance costs, while sellers pay for the owner’s policy. There are no documentary, mortgage, or transfer taxes. Property taxes fall due on May 10th and November 10th.
