Judicial

How foreclosure works in Indiana

Indiana foreclosures go through court.

Main steps and notices: The lender mails a pre-foreclosure notice by certified mail at least 30 days before filing suit.
The summons tells the borrower they can ask for a settlement conference within 30 days.
The sale is posted at the courthouse and published once a week for three weeks, starting at least 30 days before.
The sale typically can't happen until at least three months after the suit is filed.
Catching up before the sale: Reinstating before judgment ends the case. After judgment, it postpones the sale.
After the sale: There is no right to redeem after the sale.
Before any of this starts: Under federal rules, a mortgage servicer generally can't make the first notice or filing for foreclosure until the borrower is more than 120 days behind.
Governing law: Indiana Code § 32-29-7-0.2 et seq.; § 32-30-10-0.2 et seq.; § 32-30-10.5-1 et seq.
