Wyoming Statutes Title 1. Code of Civil Procedure § 1-18-114. Omitted parties; definitions

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) For purposes of this section:

(i) “Omitted party” means any person who:

(A) Subsequent to the recording of a mortgage, deed of trust or other lien instrument pursuant to which a foreclosure sale has been conducted, has either acquired a record interest in the property subject to a mortgage foreclosure, deed of trust or execution sale, or has obtained a valid possessory interest and is in actual possession of the property; and

(B) Is not included as a party defendant in a judicial foreclosure action or, if included, is entitled to notice, but was not served with process, or was not mailed notice of the execution sale or is not notified pursuant to W.S. 34-4-104 of a mortgage foreclosure sale.

(ii) “Interested person” means any holder of a certificate of purchase or certificate of redemption issued pursuant to W.S. 1-18-102 and 1-18-106 or any owner of the property by virtue of a sheriff's or public trustee's deed or person claiming through such owner.

(b) The interest of an omitted party in the property which is the subject of a mortgage foreclosure, execution or sheriff's or trustee's sale may be terminated in a civil action commenced by any interested person if the omitted party is afforded rights of redemption upon terms as the district court for the district in which the property is located may deem just under the circumstances, which terms shall not, however, be more favorable than the person's statutory rights had the person been provided notice of the sale.

(c) For purposes of this section, the mortgage, judgment or other lien which is the subject of the sale shall not be extinguished by merger with the title to the property acquired upon issuance and delivery of the sheriff's deed until the interest of any omitted party has been terminated as provided in subsection (b) of this section or by operation of law.
