The courts have inherent power to restrain the sale of mortgaged premises in foreclosure proceedings, but are reluctant to exercise such power except where it is shown that particular circumstances, extrinsic to the instrument, would render its enforcement in this manner inequitable and work irreparable injury, and that complainant has no adequate remedy at law. Furthermore, a party must show a probable right of recovery in order to obtain a temporary injunction of a foreclosure action.
A New Mexico Petition to Enjoin Foreclosure Sale and Seeking Ascertainment of Amount Owed on Note and Deed of Trust is a legal document filed with the court to halt a foreclosure sale of a property and request a determination of the outstanding debt owed on a promissory note and deed of trust. This petition is typically sought by homeowners who believe that there are errors or discrepancies in the foreclosure process or who wish to dispute the amount claimed by the lender. The key objective of this petition is to temporarily stop the foreclosure sale until the court can review the case and ascertain the accurate amount owed on the note and deed of trust. By doing so, the homeowner aims to protect their rights, ensure fair treatment, and possibly negotiate alternative solutions such as loan modification, mortgage reinstatement, or debt forgiveness.
