What is the right of a person to regain their property after a foreclosure sale called?

The right of a person to regain their property after a foreclosure sale is known as redemption. This legal right allows a homeowner to reclaim their property by paying off the outstanding debt, typically the foreclosed loan amount, plus any additional fees or interest incurred during the foreclosure process.

In many jurisdictions, including Michigan, redemption periods vary but generally provide the borrower with a specific timeframe after the foreclosure sale during which they can reinstate their ownership. This provision serves to protect homeowners from losing their properties without the opportunity to correct the financial situation that led to the foreclosure, emphasizing the importance of fair treatment in the lending process.

Other terms such as title reclamation, reinstatement, and restoration refer to different concepts in real estate law. Title reclamation isn't a widely recognized legal term, reinstatement typically refers to bringing a loan current before a foreclosure occurs, and restoration may describe a general process of returning something to a former state, none of which specifically pertain to the act of regaining property after a foreclosure sale.
