Re: Second Lien on Foreclosed Property
If there's insufficient funds from the trustee's sale of the property to pay the other lesser priority liens, i.e., the so-called junior lien holders, the debts secured by these liens will still
be due and owing by the borrowers who orignially signed for them, but they(the liens) will no longer attach to and encumber the property that was sold by the trustee.
