Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a fair value hearing in Missouri to limit my deficiency?+
Yes. If the foreclosure sale price was inadequate (less than the fair market value), you can request a fair value hearing in the deficiency action. The court will determine the property's fair market value at the time of the sale and limit the deficiency to: total debt − fair market value (not the sale price). This can substantially reduce or eliminate the deficiency. You must request this hearing in the deficiency action — it is not automatic.
