(1) Unless redemption rights have been precluded pursuant to RCW 61.12.093 et seq., the judgment debtor or any redemptioner may redeem the property from the purchaser at any time (a) within eight months after the date of the sale if the sale is pursuant to judgment and decree of foreclosure of any mortgage executed after June 30, 1961, which mortgage declares in its terms that the mortgaged property is not used principally for agricultural or farming purposes, and in which complaint the judgment creditor has expressly waived any right to a deficiency judgment, or (b) otherwise within one year after the date of the sale.

I have client that just bought a condo at a Sherriff's sale for $15,000 which were the dues owed by the owner.  The underlying debt is with Bank of America for $120,000 but the property has a value of $70,000.  B of A did not show up at the sale.

What happens?  Client gets the property subject to the Bank of America deed of trust, right?

So, the deadbeat prior owner won't pay, that's for sure.  My client doesn't want to pay $120,000 to B of A.  So I expect there will be a foreclosure by bank of America on the new owner.

What is the function of the "Redemption Rights" in the Bank?  Does the Bank have to buy the place back from my client for what she paid at the sale?

A quick overview of how this works would be appreciated.  Just the framework.

Thanks,
