Act Early

Time Is Critical In A
Missouri Trustee Sale

Because Missouri foreclosures can proceed without a court hearing, acting before the scheduled sale date is essential. Early action can create time and options that may not exist later.

Time Creates Options

The earlier we review your documents, the more room there is to evaluate loss mitigation, modification, and other alternatives before the sale.

Notice of Sale Deadline

Once a notice of sale is posted, the auction date drives the timeline. Preparing documents before that date makes a meaningful difference.

Court Filing Lead Time

A civil action to challenge the sale must be filed in Circuit Court. We help you prepare the filings before the auction deadline.

The Missouri Foreclosure Process

How Foreclosure Works In Missouri

Missouri generally uses a non-judicial, power-of-sale foreclosure process under a deed of trust. This means a lender typically is not required to file a lawsuit to foreclose, so a homeowner must often take affirmative steps to challenge a scheduled sale. The information below is educational only and is not legal advice.

Deed of Trust

Missouri foreclosures typically run through a deed of trust naming a trustee with the power of sale.

Notice of Sale

The trustee posts notice of the sale. The notice establishes the date, time and place of the auction.

Trustee Sale

The property is offered at a public sale. Without a court order, the sale can proceed on the scheduled date.

Circuit Court Civil Action

To challenge a trustee sale, a homeowner may need to file a civil action in Missouri Circuit Court before the sale.
