My parents in Northern California sold a single-family house they owned, and self-financed the loan. The people who bought it have failed to make payments on the loan for the last few months. They asked a lawyer how to handle it, the lawyer referred them to a loan servicing company. Is that really the best way to deal with it? Is there a particular type of lawyer that would be good to talk to in this situation (they were previously talking to a real estate attorney, so I'm not sure if that's the best or not)?

Did they do anything to secure the loan, like filing a lien or mortgage or trust deed against the house? Or getting a security agreement? Did they at least make sure the financing agreement was in writing? Did they comply with federal lending laws? Or California ones? Oh jesus this is a glorious clusterfuck.

This was all done through a lawyer and a real estate agent and a title company, it was an owner-financed mortgage; everything was above board. I didn't think it was a great idea at the time, but it wasn't my house.

When they were doing this, it was made clear that if they had to foreclose, the house would fully revert to my parents, which is why I didn't object more strenuously.

Yeah, if this was properly done then they just need to decide what they want to do-if it’s send nasty grams or foreclose. If it’s foreclose, they should call a lawyer who does foreclosures for bug mortgage companies. Most title companies will know the local law firms that do foreclosure work and can give them a reference.

Most title companies will know the local law firms that do foreclosure work and can give them a reference. Please tell me about the bug mortgage companies. Probably the lawyer told them to get a loan servicing company because they would be able to make sure all the proper notices went out at the right times for a lot less money than paying a lawyer to do it. Is it a mortgage, a rent to own, or a contract for deed? That probably matters.

I'm pretty sure it's just a mortgage; it had a down payment, and they were making monthly payments until they cleared out the debt, at which point they'd get the deed/title.

How does a deed/mortgage normally work in California? Is it titled to and the deed held by the bank? Or held by the buyer with a recorded mortgage? Or some other combination of title/deed holder/liens?

Deed of trust is normal in California. Legal title goes to a title company, equitable title goes to the homeowner. Bank can do a nonjudicial foreclosure on default and have the title company sell it.

A lawyer is anyone with a JD An attorney is a licensed lawyer who is allowed to represent people as a attorney-at-law (distinct from an attorney-in-fact) in the local courts Attorney comes from the old Law French which means something like “person assigned or appointed (to represent)”

No one really cares, but my recollection from the last pedantry I heard on this is that lawyers is the universe of people licensed to practice law, and attorneys are the subset of lawyers who offer legal representation to others. So under this definition, say a licensed lawyer who solely does regulatory work for the government might not also be an attorney. Same for someone doing contracts management, doc review, in-house but relying on outside counsel for litigation, etc.

For example while president Barack Obama was a lawyer but not an attorney Or for example a legislative aide to a Senator for example is a lawyer but not an attorney Or someone who has been disbarred is still a lawyer but not an attorney

They can’t sell themselves as lawyers for consumer protection reasons yes but they are still lawyers . There are tons of lawyers who can not actually practice law in the sense of having clients

Then there's the blood ritual to sign the satanic contract of course, gotta mention that. It's real spooky. Gotta say "objection" three times in the mirror and stuff. If you don't go through with it though, you get demoted to simple paralegal activity
