If a Deed of Trust was recorded in the prior county, does the lender release it there or in Broomfield?

As of November 15, 2001, all documents related to property within the boundaries of the City and County of Broomfield should be recorded in the City and County of Broomfield.  However, if a Deed of Trust is inadvertently released and recorded in the prior county, we have agreements with each of the legacy counties legitimizing such occurrences.

I just received a notice from the Public Trustee that a foreclosure was started on my property.  Do I have to move out right away?

No.  The property belongs to you until a Public Trustee's Deed is issued.  The notice will indicate a sale date.   You normally have at least 75 days after that date before a deed can be issued.  However, you must file an Intent to Redeem with the Public Trustee at least fifteen (15) days prior to the end of the redemption period.  You also have the right to cure the default.

What is curing a default and how do I do that?

Curing a default is paying all outstanding amounts and bringing the loan current.  In other words, if a foreclosure is started because you failed to make some payments, in order to cure the default, you would have to pay the delinquent payments plus interest and any other charges the lender has incurred as a result of the foreclosure.  

If you want to cure you must file a Notice of Intent to Cure Default at least fifteen (15) days before the sale date.
