Understanding Foreclosure in Alabama

- Foreclosure is typically initiated after missed payments
- A notice is issued and published before the sale
- The property is sold at a public auction
-> Because this process happens outside of court, foreclosure in Alabama can move quickly—often within a few weeks to a couple of months.
