Kevin is an investor who purchased a property at a trustee's sale in Arkansas. The original borrower, Lisa, is claiming she has a right to reclaim the property after the completed sale. Under Arkansas law governing deeds of trust, which statement most accurately describes Lisa's post-sale rights?

Correct Answer

B) Lisa has no post-sale rights because the completed trustee's sale extinguishes all of the borrower's redemption rights under the deed of trust

Under Arkansas's non-judicial deed of trust foreclosure process governed by Ark. Code Ann. § 18-50-101 et seq., once the trustee's sale is completed, the borrower's equity of redemption is extinguished. Arkansas's non-judicial foreclosure under a deed of trust generally does not provide a statutory post-sale right of redemption comparable to what some states offer in judicial mortgage foreclosures. The completed trustee's sale conveys title to the purchaser free of the borrower's redemption rights.

Answer Options
A
Lisa has an automatic six-month post-sale statutory right of redemption that allows her to reclaim the property by paying the sale price plus interest
B
Lisa has no post-sale rights because the completed trustee's sale extinguishes all of the borrower's redemption rights under the deed of trust
C
Lisa has a one-year post-sale right of redemption that is guaranteed under the Arkansas Constitution
D
Lisa can reclaim the property within 30 days of the sale by paying only the outstanding loan balance, not the sale price
