Marcus borrowed $320,000 from a Wyoming lender to purchase a home in Laramie. The lender secured the loan using Wyoming's standard security instrument. Marcus later defaults on the loan. Which statement best describes the foreclosure process the lender will most likely initiate under Wyoming law?

Correct Answer

B) The trustee conducts a non-judicial sale after providing required notice, without court involvement.

Under W.S. 34-4-101 et seq., Wyoming uses deeds of trust as its primary security instrument, which enables non-judicial foreclosure through a trustee's sale. Upon default, the trustee—not a court—conducts the sale after satisfying statutory notice and publication requirements. This process is faster and does not require court involvement.

Answer Options
A
The lender files a lawsuit in district court and obtains a judgment before selling the property.
B
The trustee conducts a non-judicial sale after providing required notice, without court involvement.
C
The lender records a lis pendens and waits for the statutory redemption period to expire.
D
The lender petitions the Wyoming Real Estate Commission to revoke the deed and resell the property.
