RE:
RTC and FDIC Inferior Liens
Dear Associates:
Both the RTC and FDIC have adopted Statements of Policy that it is not necessary to obtain their consent to a foreclosure when they hold an inferior mortgage or deed of trust from a failed financial institution.
They have also agreed not to exercise any greater redemption rights than provided for by state law.
RTC and FDIC mortgages and deeds of trust can now be handled the same as any other creditor in foreclosure proceedings, both judicial and nonjudicial. These Statements of Policy reverse earlier positions taken by the RTC and FDIC. These Statements are retroactive to include previously completed foreclosures.
Please contact me if you have any questions.
