Correct answer: A non-judicial foreclosure state — foreclosure can proceed through a power of sale clause without court involvement
Alabama is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning lenders can foreclose using the power of sale clause contained in the deed of trust without filing a lawsuit or obtaining a court order. The process involves providing notice to the borrower and conducting a public sale. This is faster and less expensive than judicial foreclosure. Judicial foreclosure states require the lender to file a lawsuit and obtain a court judgment before selling the property. Strict foreclosure (used in only a few states like Connecticut and Vermont) allows the court to transfer title directly to the lender without a sale. There is no such thing as a statutory foreclosure requiring legislative approval — this is a fabricated distractor.
