A Pennsylvania Writ of Execution Mortgage Foreclosure is a legal process that a lender (mortgage holder) can use to recover a mortgage debt when a borrower (mortgagee) fails to make payments. The lender can request the court to issue a Writ of Execution, which allows the sheriff to seize the mortgaged property and sell it in order to satisfy the debt. There are two types of Pennsylvania Writ of Execution Mortgage Foreclosure: Judicial Foreclosure and Non-Judicial Foreclosure. In Judicial Foreclosure, the lender must file a complaint in court and serve the borrower with notice. After a hearing, the court will issue a Writ of Execution which allows the sheriff to seize the mortgaged property and sell it in order to pay off the debt. In Non-Judicial Foreclosure, the lender is not required to go through the court system. Instead, the lender must provide the borrower with notice of their intent to foreclose and the borrower has the right to redeem the property by paying the outstanding balance. If the borrower fails to redeem the property, the lender will file a Notice of Sale with the sheriff, who will then sell the property to satisfy the debt.
