Under Maine law, how long does a mortgagor have to redeem their property after a foreclosure judgment is entered?

Correct Answer

B) 90 days from the date the foreclosure judgment is entered

Under Maine law (14 M.R.S. § 6322), after a foreclosure judgment is entered, the mortgagor has a 90-day redemption period during which they may redeem the property by paying the full amount owed, including costs. This is Maine's statutory redemption period that runs from the date of the court's foreclosure judgment. If the mortgagor does not redeem within 90 days, the lender's title becomes absolute and the foreclosure is complete without a public sale.

Answer Options
A
No redemption period; the lender takes title immediately upon judgment
B
90 days from the date the foreclosure judgment is entered
C
6 months from the date of the foreclosure sale
D
1 year from the date the foreclosure judgment is entered
