A real estate exam candidate from Ohio is studying for the Virginia state portion. She notes that in Ohio, foreclosure requires a court judgment. She asks her instructor how Virginia's process differs. Which statement BEST describes Virginia's foreclosure process under a deed of trust?

Correct Answer

A) Virginia's trustee conducts a non-judicial sale under the power of sale clause without court involvement

Virginia is a non-judicial foreclosure state. The trustee in a deed of trust has the authority to conduct a foreclosure sale under the power of sale clause without obtaining a court judgment or court involvement. This contrasts with judicial foreclosure states like Ohio, where the lender must sue the borrower and obtain a court order before proceeding. Virginia's process is faster and does not require the borrower's consent.

Answer Options
A
Virginia's trustee conducts a non-judicial sale under the power of sale clause without court involvement
B
Virginia requires a court judgment before the trustee may advertise the foreclosure sale
C
Virginia requires the trustor to consent in writing before the trustee may proceed with a sale
D
Virginia allows the beneficiary to purchase the property directly without a public auction
