Learn how the Washington foreclosure process works, including preforeclosure steps, foreclosure procedures, and homeowner rights. The Revised Code of Washington provides for two different types of foreclosures: nonjudicial and judicial foreclosures.Nonjudicial foreclosures happen without court supervision. Washington law sets out the specifics of what steps the bank needs to complete. Among the most prominent features of the current housing crisis has been an unprecedented jump in the incidence of mortgage delinquencies and foreclosures. Under Judicial Foreclosure: Your mortgage lender must file suit in the court system. You'll get a letter from the court demanding payment. Non-judicial foreclosure is when a mortgage agreement lets the lender foreclose without having to take you (the borrower) to court. Missing a payment is the first step down the path to foreclosure, but the lender has to take the steps set out in the law to foreclose.
