All mortgages are eliminated in foreclosure.

The position of the the mortgage - which is virtually always determined by who recorded their lien first - determines the order of who gets paid the money received by the successful bidder at the foreclosure auction.

The amount of the debt (which includes the unpaid principal, back payments, interest, late fee's, costs of collection/foreclosing, etc) of the one in 1st position gets the money up to the amount owed. If there is any additional amount received by the sale, it is dispersed down the list until all are paid, and any remaining is then given to the one who lost the property. The foreclosure records would show who received the funds...although this is not the type of thing most lenders wouldn't reveal and account for...when demanding any remaining amounts from you.

If not enough money was generated to pay off a lender in full, the lender can (and generally do) seek other methods (garnishment, etc) to recover whatever their loss is...the debt is not forgiven...only the original collateral on it is no longer available.

**I Disagree.** Not in Missouri. A 2nd mortgage foreclosure sale event does not directly affect the 1st which remains a lien against the real estate. (Larry)

If you are in foreclosure for your first mortgage are you still responsible for the second mortgage if there is a second mortgage on the property?

If your first mortgage is in the process of foreclosure that foreclosure will extinguish the second mortgage as to the real estate. The foreclosure of the first mortgage terminates all subsequent interests in the real estate. After the foreclosure the real estate can be sold free and clear of any subsequent mortgages or liens. However, the debtor remains responsible for the second mortgage debt.Any remaining proceeds from the foreclosure sale after the first mortgage is satisfied are paid toward the second mortgage. In some states the second mortgagee can seek a "deficiency judgment" in court against the debtor. However, even when possible it's not often done due to the costs and the slim probability the debtor will have the ability to pay.You should check your state laws.
