A real estate licensee in Kansas is explaining the foreclosure process to a seller client who is at risk of default. The seller asks whether the lender can foreclose without going to court, as he heard this is possible in some states. What is the correct response under Kansas law?

Correct Answer

D) No, all mortgage foreclosures in Kansas must go through the court system as a judicial proceeding.

Under K.S.A. 60-2410 et seq., all mortgage foreclosures in Kansas must proceed through the court system as judicial foreclosures. There is no non-judicial foreclosure process in Kansas, regardless of whether the mortgage contains a power-of-sale clause. The lender must file a lawsuit, obtain a court judgment, and the property is sold at a sheriff's sale supervised by the court.

Answer Options
A
No, but the lender can foreclose administratively through the Kansas Real Estate Commission.
B
Yes, Kansas allows non-judicial foreclosure if the mortgage includes a power-of-sale clause.
C
Yes, the lender can use a trustee's sale to foreclose without court involvement in Kansas.
D
No, all mortgage foreclosures in Kansas must go through the court system as a judicial proceeding.
