Under North Dakota law governing mortgages and judicial foreclosure, which of the following statements is NOT accurate?

Correct Answer

D) A lender may conduct a non-judicial foreclosure sale using the power-of-sale clause contained in the mortgage document

Option C is NOT accurate. North Dakota is an exclusively judicial foreclosure state under NDCC Chapter 32-19. A lender cannot conduct a non-judicial (power-of-sale) foreclosure in North Dakota, regardless of whether the mortgage document contains a power-of-sale clause. Any such clause is unenforceable as a matter of state law. All foreclosures must proceed through district court. This is one of the most critical North Dakota-specific rules and a frequent trap for candidates familiar with deed-of-trust states.

Answer Options
A
A lender may pursue a deficiency judgment against the borrower after a foreclosure sale that does not fully satisfy the debt
B
The borrower retains legal title to the mortgaged property throughout the loan repayment period
C
The borrower may have a statutory right to redeem the property for up to one year following the foreclosure sale
D
A lender may conduct a non-judicial foreclosure sale using the power-of-sale clause contained in the mortgage document
