A power of sale is a legal process that allows a mortgage lender to sell a property to recover their loan if the borrower defaults on their mortgage payments. When a borrower misses payments, the lender can initiate this process, which involves sending a notice, followed by a redemption period where the borrower can catch up on payments. If the debt isn't paid, the property is sold, and the proceeds are used to pay the lender, with any surplus returned to the borrower.
