Mortgages in title theory states have to go through a judicial process with the lender filing a foreclosure lawsuit. In contrast, a trustee manages foreclosures in a lien theory state and doesn't require a judicial process and involvement with a court.
Judicial foreclosure - involves sale of the mortgaged property under the supervision of a court; initiated by a law suit; available in every state. non-judicial foreclosure - involves sale of the mortgage property without court supervision; available in many, but not all, states.
