Judicial Foreclosure in Kansas

The Judicial nature of Kansas Foreclosure law states that a lawsuit must be filed to obtain a court order to foreclose. The KS judicial process of foreclosure involves:

• filing a lawsuit to obtain a court order to foreclose
• the court declaring a foreclosure
• the property is auctioned off to the highest bidder

Upon receiving all claims, the court will make a judgment in favor of the lender and against the borrower for the balance due in a foreclosure. The sheriff is then directed by the court to auction off the property to the highest bidder.

The notice of the time and sale of the foreclosure must be advertised once a week for three (3) consecutive weeks, with the last publication being no more than fourteen (14) and no less than seven (7) days before the scheduled date of sale. In another word, the last publication of foreclosure must be between 7 and 14 days prior to the schedule date of trustee sale. Notice of the sale must also be sent to the borrower within five (5) days of the first advertisement.
