After a non-judicial foreclosure sale in Minnesota, the mortgagor does not exercise her right of redemption. A second-mortgage holder (junior lienholder) wants to know if it can redeem the property after the mortgagor's redemption period expires. Which statement correctly describes the junior lienholder's redemption rights under Minnesota law?

Correct Answer

D) Junior lienholders may redeem the property in a specific sequence after the mortgagor's period expires, each receiving additional time to redeem

Under Minnesota's statutory redemption framework (Minn. Stat. § 580.24), junior lienholders have the right to redeem the property after the mortgagor's redemption period expires. They redeem in order of their lien priority, with each junior lienholder receiving a sequential window (typically 7 days each) to exercise their redemption right. This sequential redemption process is a distinctive feature of Minnesota foreclosure law.

Answer Options
A
Junior lienholders may redeem only if they obtain a court order within 30 days of the foreclosure sale
B
Junior lienholders have no right of redemption once the mortgagor's redemption period expires
C
All junior lienholders must exercise their redemption rights simultaneously during the mortgagor's redemption period
D
Junior lienholders may redeem the property in a specific sequence after the mortgagor's period expires, each receiving additional time to redeem
