What step follows delivering a Notice of Sale in the power of sale process?

  1. The lender takes immediate possession of the property

  2. The lender files a statement of defence

  3. The borrower obtains a redemption period

  4. The borrower has an opportunity to pay the arrears plus costs

The correct answer is: The borrower has an opportunity to pay the arrears plus costs

After delivering a Notice of Sale in the power of sale process, the next step is for the borrower to have an opportunity to pay the arrears plus any applicable costs. This means the borrower has a chance to catch up on missed payments and potentially prevent the property from being sold at a foreclosure auction. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they do not describe the immediate next step in this process. Option A, about the lender taking possession of the property, occurs after the foreclosure sale if the property is not redeemed by the borrower. Option B, regarding the lender filing a statement of defense, is not a step in the power of sale process. Option C, pertaining to the borrower obtaining a redemption period, may happen later in the process if the borrower takes legal action or applies for a postponement of the foreclosure sale.
