Foreclosure proceedings; duty of attorney general; deed in lieu of foreclosure.
Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 11-34-123
in effect(a) Any foreclosure of any mortgage provided for by this act shall be made in the usual manner, either by civil action or by advertisement as the board may direct. In cases of foreclosure the attorney general shall render all services needed in connection with the foreclosure proceedings, and the costs, fees and expenses may be taxed in like manner and to the same effect as if the state of Wyoming were a natural person. Payment of proceeds upon foreclosure shall be made in accordance with W.S. 34-4-113. All monies received by the state from sale of the land acquired by foreclosure or by redemption of land sold on foreclosure, in excess of the amount owing to the appropriate permanent fund account and the interest due thereon, shall be credited to the loss reserve account as provided by W.S. 11-34-202(e). The board may extend the time of payment of any interest or installment payment due on any farm loan for as long as the board deems proper, and distribute the defaulted payments including interest, over undue payments in a manner and under terms the board deems just, each loan to be judged on its own merits without regard to any general rule. It is the intention of this section to authorize the board to consider and determine whether any mortgages executed by virtue of this act shall be foreclosed or renewed, with or without penalty, but no renewal shall extend beyond the due date of the original loan or any extension of the term by reamortization authorized by W.S. 11-34-113(d).
(b) Repealed By Laws 2010, Ch. 69, § 204.
(c) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section the state loan and investment board by unanimous vote may accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, provided:
(i) The board determines any remaining liability is not collectible; and
(ii) Any loss to any permanent fund resulting from the acceptance of the deed in lieu of foreclosure is restored as provided by W.S. 11-34-202(f).
