A California buyer defaults on a Cal-VET loan after making payments for 8 years. What remedy does the California Department of Veterans Affairs have that differs from a conventional lender's remedy?

Correct Answer

B) The state can cancel the land contract and recover the property without a formal foreclosure proceeding

Because Cal-VET uses a land contract (contract of sale) rather than a deed of trust, the state holds legal title throughout the loan term. If the veteran defaults, the state can cancel the contract and recover the property without going through the formal foreclosure process, since the state already holds title.

Answer Options
A
The state must file a judicial foreclosure through the California superior court system
B
The state can cancel the land contract and recover the property without a formal foreclosure proceeding
C
The state must follow the standard non-judicial foreclosure process using a notice of default and trustee's sale
D
The state can garnish the veteran's wages directly without any court proceeding
