FORECLOSED Meaning and Definition

1. Foreclosed is an adjective that relates to the act or process of seizing or taking possession of a property or asset by the lender or financial institution due to the borrower's failure to meet the agreed-upon loan repayment terms. It typically occurs when the borrower is unable to make the required mortgage payments to the lender as specified in the loan agreement.

   The term "foreclosed" is most commonly used in the context of real estate, referring to the legal process by which a lender, such as a bank, repossesses a property from the borrower. This process usually involves the lender filing a lawsuit and obtaining a court order to sell the property in order to recover the outstanding mortgage debt.

   When a property is foreclosed, it is typically auctioned off to potential buyers to recoup the lender's losses. If the property fails to sell at auction, it becomes a real estate-owned (REO) property, and the lender becomes the owner. Foreclosure can have severe consequences for the homeowner, including damage to their credit history and the loss of their home.

   Due to the financial implications and legal complexities associated with foreclosure, it is always advised to seek legal advice or consult with a real estate professional if faced with such circumstances.

2. Precluded; cut off from the right of redemption-usually said of a mortgage.

Etymology of FORECLOSED

The word "foreclosed" originated from the Middle English term "forclosen" or "forclosien". It was formed by combining the prefix "for-" (meaning "completely" or "intensely") with the Old French word "clos", which translates to "enclosed" or "shut". The term evolved over time to refer specifically to the act of seizing someone's property due to non-payment of a debt or failure to meet financial obligations, which we now commonly know as a foreclosure.
