Judicial Foreclosures Vs. Administrative Foreclosures - Arizona
Hello,
If I understand correctly, in December, Arizona state law discontinues the "Administrative Foreclosure" for liens purchased on or after 1999 and requires all subsequent foreclosures to be "Judicial Foreclosures"
If I've determined that a property is free and clear of liens (except for the tax lien) and I fulfill the notice requirement, can I prosecute that lien myself, or do I need to hire an attorney?
I ask because it appears that the judicial foreclosure process appears to consist of a lot of paperwork that I could probably complete myself.

If you have a local club I would ask there. They have specifics for your area and undoubtedly someone has done one of these already and cna help you avoid the mistakes.
That's a great idea, thank you.
You can do it yourself, as long as you are representing yourself in court (i.e. you are not a corporation).
It is extremely involved. If you are smart you will pay a lawyer to do one lot for you, with the understanding he shows you how to do everything (court filings, process serving, mailing notices, publishing notice, etc).
Once you know how its basically filling in the blanks and going through the motions. Lucky me, Dad is a lawyer.
