Gov"tnor Signs Mortgage Australia Steady Customer Reluf Bill for Redwood

Senate Bill No. 7, introduced by Senators J. W. McKinley of Los Angeles, N. T. Edrvards of Orange and Walter Duval of Santa Paula, making changes in the law regulat- ing mortgages and deeds of trust, rvas signed by CnOvernor R'olph on June 2.

Under the new larv the difierence betr,veen the appraised market value and the amount of the debt rather than the differen.ce between the amount obtained at the foreclosure sale and the debt is made the maximum amount of available deficien'cy.

No deficiency judgment can be given on a purchase money trust deed or mortgage on real estate.

"This should remedy the situation which arises when a man makes a great number of payments on a home and thereafter is unable to keep up the payments. This prevents the creditor from buying the property at bargain rates and suing the debtor for the difference," Governor Rolph explained.

The law specifies no deficien,cy judgment can be given if the sale takes place between the date the law takes efiect and September 1, 1935, unless notice of default is posted a year prior to the sale. This, in effect, lneans that the debtor cannot be held personally liable for any deficiency unless he has been given a year in rvhich to raise the money.

Notice of trust deeds must be recorded in every ,county in whi'ch any of the property is located and notice of default and of sale must be mailed to every person who records a request for such notice. This is to eliminate the danger of a man's property being sold without his knowledge.

The debtor is given an option at anv time the sale or court foreclosure to wipe out the default and reinstate the instrument as though he had made all his payments on time.

The new law, the Governor stated, "should benefit debtladen farm and home owners."
