The right of redemption after foreclosure in Arizona:
Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
Lasts for 6 months
Answer A is incorrect because a 6-month redemption period does not exist for non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona; while some states like Michigan offer a 6-month redemption period, Arizona's non-judicial trustee's sale process provides no such post-sale redemption right to the defaulting borrower.
Lasts for 1 year
Answer B is incorrect because a 1-year redemption period does not apply to non-judicial foreclosure in Arizona; a 6-month redemption period does exist for judicial foreclosure in Arizona under ARS § 12-1282, but this is the exception rather than the rule, and the question specifically addresses the general post-foreclosure right of redemption.
Generally does not exist for non-judicial foreclosure
Lasts for 30 days
Answer D is incorrect because a 30-day redemption period has no basis in Arizona foreclosure law; no such short redemption window exists in Arizona statutes for either judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, making this answer entirely fabricated from a legal standpoint.
Why is this correct?
Answer C is correct because Arizona Revised Statutes § 33-811 explicitly provides that there is no right of redemption after a trustee's sale (non-judicial foreclosure), which is the most common form of foreclosure in Arizona. The trustee's sale is final upon completion, and the borrower has no statutory right to redeem the property after the sale occurs, making the foreclosure process swift and the title transfer clean. This is a fundamental feature of Arizona's deed of trust foreclosure system that distinguishes it from states with judicial foreclosure and statutory redemption periods.
