Foreclosure Laws in Arizona A notice of sale must be published in a newspaper located in the county where the property is located. The notice must be placed on the property 20 days before the sale date and it must be recorded in the recorder's office in the county where the property is located.
Chattel is any tangible personal property that is movable. Examples of chattel are furniture, livestock, bedding, picture frames, and jewelry.
A chattel mortgage must adhere to a prescribed form and execution process: It must be signed by the mortgagor in the presence of two witnesses. An affidavit affirming the mortgage's purpose and validity must be included and signed by the parties involved. The affidavit must be certified by an authorized officer.
A Cancellation of Chattel Mortgage is used when the parties agree to cancel the mortgage over the property. It is often used when the obligation secured by the mortgage has been fulfilled, cancelled or is no longer existing for any reason.
By chattel mortgage, personal property is recorded in the Chattel Mortgage Register as a security for the performance of an obligation. If the movable, instead of being recorded, is delivered to the creditor or a third person, the contract is a pledge and not a chattel mortgage.
If the borrower's outstanding debt exceeds the property's current market value, the lender may refuse to proceed with a deed in lieu of foreclosure.
