38    time limitations as provided in this subsection.
39        (9)  The  purchaser at the sale shall forthwith pay the price bid and upon
40    receipt of payment the trustee shall execute and deliver the trustee's deed to
41    such purchaser, provided that in the event of  any  refusal  to  pay  purchase
42    money,  the  officer making such sale shall have the right to resell or reject
43    any subsequent bid as provided by law in the case of sales under execution.
44        (10) The trustee's deed shall convey to the purchaser the interest in  the
45    property which the grantor had, or had the power to convey, at the time of the
46    execution  by  him of the trust deed together with any interest the grantor or
47    his successors in interest acquired after the execution of such trust deed.
48        (11) The purchaser at the trustee's sale shall be entitled  to  possession
49    of the property on the tenth day following the sale, and any persons remaining
50    in  possession  thereafter  under any interest except one prior to the deed of
51    trust shall be deemed to be tenants at sufferance.
52        (12) Whenever all or a portion of any obligation  secured  by  a  deed  of
53    trust  which has become due by reason of a default of any part of that obliga-
54    tion, including taxes, assessments, premiums for insurance or advances made by
55    a beneficiary in accordance with the terms of the deed of trust,  the  grantor


                                          3

 1    or his successor in interest in the trust property or any part thereof, or any
 2    beneficiary  under a subordinate deed of trust or any person having a subordi-
 3    nate lien or encumbrance of record thereon, at any  time  within  one  hundred
 4    fifteen  (115)  days of the recording of the notice of default under such deed
 5    of trust, if the power of sale therein is to be exercised, or otherwise at any
 6    time prior to the entry of a decree of foreclosure,  may pay  to  the  benefi-
 7    ciary  or  their  successors in interest, respectively, the entire amount then
 8    due under the terms of the deed of trust and the  obligation  secured  thereby
 9    (including costs and expenses actually incurred in enforcing the terms of such
10    obligation  and  a reasonable trustee's fee subject to the limitations imposed
11    by subsection (6) of section 45-1502, Idaho Code, and attorney's fees  as  may
12    be  provided  in the promissory note) other than such portion of the principal
13    as would not then be due had no default occurred, and thereby cure the default
14    theretofore existing, and thereupon, all proceedings theretofore had or insti-
15    tuted shall be dismissed or discontinued and the obligation and deed of  trust
16    shall  be  reinstated and shall be and remain in force and effect, the same as
17    if no acceleration had occurred.  If the default is cured  prior  to  the
18    sale or prior to the entry of a decree of foreclosure as provided in this sub-
19    section, the beneficiary may cause a notice of cure to be published in a news-
20    paper  of general circulation in each of the counties in which the property is
21    situated once a week for two (2) successive  weeks  within  thirty  (30)  days
22    after  the cure has been effected. The notice of cure shall contain the infor-
23    mation specified in subsections (4)(a), (b) and (c)  of  this  section,  shall
24    indicate  by  whom the default was cured  and shall provide any other informa-
25    tion necessary to indicate that the proceedings have been terminated and  that
26    the  obligation  and  deed of trust have been fully satisfied or are otherwise
27    reinstated and in full force and effect. 
28        (13) Any mailing to persons outside the United States and its  territories
29    required by this chapter may be made by ordinary first class mail if certified
30    or registered mail service is unavailable.
31        (14) Service  by  mail  in  accordance with the provisions of this section
32    shall be deemed effective at the time of mailing.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact


                        STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                              RS08765

The purpose of this legislation is to provide a permissive
vehicle to allow cured defaults to be noticed in a newspaper of
general circulation in each of the counties in which the property
is situated once a week for (2) successive weeks within thirty
days after the cure has been effected.

This allows the grantor in the trust deed or any involved related
persons the opportunity to notify the community that the default
has been cured or resolved prior to the trustees sale of the
property or foreclosure action.

                                  
                                  
                                  
                                  
                                  
                                  
                                  
                            FISCAL NOTE

advertise to place a public notice indicating the default has
