Why Hunter Law Group Is Your Go-To Foreclosure Counsel in Missouri and Kansas
When borrowers default on their mortgage obligations, lenders must act efficiently, strategically, and within the bounds of state law to protect their collateral and recover owed debts. However, foreclosure procedures vary significantly between states—and choosing the right legal counsel can mean the difference between a quick resolution and a costly delay.
At Hunter Law Group, we specialize in representing banks, creditors, mortgage servicers, and private lenders in foreclosure actions throughout Missouri and Kansas. Whether judicial or non-judicial, commercial or residential, we streamline the process, reduce exposure to liability, and ensure strict compliance with all applicable laws.
Below is a foreclosure FAQ tailored to creditors and financial institutions, followed by how Hunter Law Group can support your foreclosure needs across state lines.
Q: What is the foreclosure process from a lender’s perspective?
A: Foreclosure is the legal remedy that allows a creditor to enforce its security interest in real property after borrower default. It results in the sale of the property — typically through auction — to satisfy the debt owed.
Depending on the state, this process is handled either judicially (through the courts) or non-judicially (via a trustee sale).
Q: What are the key differences between Missouri and Kansas foreclosure procedures?
Q: What does non-judicial foreclosure in Missouri involve?
A: Missouri primarily uses non-judicial foreclosure, which is:
- Faster and more cost-effective than judicial foreclosure.
- Based on a deed of trust with a power of sale clause.
- Executed by a trustee, not the courts.
Key steps include:
- Notice of Default and Intent to Sell mailed to the borrower.
- Publication of sale notice for 20 consecutive days.
- Public auction conducted by trustee.
Why it matters for lenders: Missouri’s process minimizes court costs, reduces timelines, and maximizes recovery — when handled correctly.
Q: How does judicial foreclosure work in Kansas?
A: Kansas requires judicial foreclosure:
- Based on a mortgage, not a deed of trust.
- Requires a civil lawsuit filed in state court.
- Includes notice, opportunity to respond, and a court-issued judgment of foreclosure.
- Follows with a statutory redemption period — generally 90 days, sometimes longer.
Key lender considerations:
- Court timelines can extend the process.
- Redemption periods delay final disposition of property.
- Procedural missteps can lead to delays or dismissed actions.
Hunter Law Group helps lenders navigate these complexities efficiently and without missteps.

A: For lenders, the risks include:

- Violations of consumer protection laws, including RESPA, FDCPA, or state-specific statutes.
