A

Judicial only

Alabama does not require judicial foreclosure for most mortgage defaults. Judicial foreclosure is a court-supervised process that's more time-consuming and expensive, making it less common in Alabama.

B

Non-judicial through power of sale

Correct Answer
C

Strict foreclosure

Strict foreclosure, where the lender automatically takes title to the property without a sale, is not permitted in Alabama or most states today.

D

Administrative

Administrative foreclosure is not a recognized method in Alabama. While non-judicial foreclosure has administrative elements, it's specifically called 'power of sale' foreclosure in Alabama.

Why is this correct?

Alabama law specifically allows non-judicial foreclosure through power of sale when the mortgage contains a power of sale clause. This is the standard method in Alabama, making it more common than judicial foreclosure.
