Chapter 172 : Foreclosure of Mortgages
Subchapter 004 : Foreclosure by Nonjudicial Sale
(Cite as: 12 V.S.A. § 4961)-
§ 4961. Power of nonjudicial sale
Whether or not a power of sale is contained in a mortgage relating to any property, except for farmland or a dwelling house owned by a natural person, instead of a suit and decree of foreclosure, the mortgagee may, upon breach of mortgage condition, foreclose upon the property without first commencing a foreclosure action or obtaining a foreclosure decree by complying with the terms of this subchapter. No sale under and by virtue of a nonjudicial power of sale shall be valid and effectual to foreclose the mortgage unless the conditions of this subchapter are complied with. (Added 2011, No. 102 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
