A lender in Oklahoma City is considering whether to use a deed of trust with power of sale instead of a mortgage for a new commercial loan, arguing it would allow faster foreclosure without court involvement. Which of the following statements is most accurate regarding this proposal?

Correct Answer

B) Oklahoma's Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act permits non-judicial power-of-sale foreclosure of mortgages, provided statutory notice and procedural requirements are met and the borrower has not elected judicial foreclosure.

Under Oklahoma's Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act (46 O.S. § 40 et seq.), a mortgage containing a power-of-sale clause may be foreclosed non-judicially if statutory notice procedures are followed and the borrower has not elected judicial foreclosure.

Answer Options

The lender may use a deed of trust for commercial loans only, as Oklahoma restricts mortgages to residential transactions.
B
Oklahoma's Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act permits non-judicial power-of-sale foreclosure of mortgages, provided statutory notice and procedural requirements are met and the borrower has not elected judicial foreclosure.
C
The lender cannot use a non-judicial foreclosure process because Oklahoma requires judicial foreclosure for all mortgage loans.
