Minnesota law provides procedures that lenders must follow to foreclose a mortgages on real estate, and the law also provides rights and opportunities for property owners and homeowners facing foreclosure to save their property.

Minnesota law was changed this past legislative session concerning the mortgage foreclosure process.  These changes include 1) the effect of a cancellation of a foreclosure sale and a later reinstatement of the foreclosure sale after a borrower has postponed a foreclosure sale; 2) the obligation of a mortgage company to provide the borrower with a loan reinstatement quote within a specified time; and 3) clarification of how a foreclosing lender may select an appropriate legal newspaper for publishing a foreclosure notice.  Minnesota law provides certain rights to borrowers facing the foreclosure of the mortgage on their property, but these rights are often of a specific period of time and must be timely exercised.
