If you want to learn about foreclosures under Arizona’s Anti-Deficiency Laws, watch our video powerpoint presentation.  The video covers all the basics, including terminology, what constitutes qualifying property and how the Anti-Deficiency Statutes apply in both types of foreclosures.

Governor Brewer repealed the changes to the anti-deficiency statute that were set to go into effect on September 30, 2009.  The much debated changes would have required the borrower under a deed of trust whose property was sold at a trustee’s sale to have demonstrated, among other things, that the borrower “used” the property for six consecutive months in order to qualify for the protection of the anti-deficiency statute. 

At least for the time-being, the current anti-deficiency statutes will stay in effect.  We have drafted a simple summary of the current law.
