What this bond does

In a financed resale of foreclosed property, a redemption bond can secure the seller’s obligation to pay off the new buyer’s mortgage if an eligible party redeems the property. Alabama’s statutory right of redemption can survive a resale; buying a bond does not extinguish that right.

Who needs it
A purchaser reselling Alabama foreclosed property who has been asked to provide redemption-related security for the new buyer’s financing. Use the transaction’s instructions to identify the exact principal and obligation.
Who it protects
In that financed-resale arrangement, the mortgage lender is the obligee seeking protection against the redemption-related mortgage exposure. Match the named lender and obligation to the requested form; the bond does not promise reimbursement of every owner’s or buyer’s transaction costs.

Your bond option

This is the option on record for this bond.

The bond amount describes the limit of the bond obligation, not the price. A listed amount does not establish what the requesting party requires. The premium is what you pay and must be confirmed for the actual option. An E&O limit, where listed, is separate errors and omissions insurance.

Identify the foreclosure and the remaining redemption issue

Alabama Code § 6-5-248 identifies several classes of people who may redeem, including debtors, mortgagors and certain creditors and transferees. Its timing provisions distinguish qualifying homestead property from other property and address notice. A single deadline should not be applied to every closing.

Give the attorney or title professional handling the transaction the foreclosure date, mortgage information, and relevant notices. Ask for the redemption issue and required security to be identified in writing. Keep a tax-sale matter separate from a mortgage foreclosure; similar use of the word redemption does not make the documents interchangeable.

Use the requesting party’s form to set the bond

Start with the lender’s bond request in the closing, title or legal instructions. Copy the seller/principal’s legal name, exact lender/obligee, property description, amount, and required period. Keep the mortgage amount available, but use the security amount actually requested rather than substituting the property’s sale price.

Purchase Now opens RLI’s application in a new tab. This page has one application route, with no preset bond amount or term listed. Enter the lender’s requested amount and period when applying; submitting the application does not complete issuance or resolve a disputed title.

Prepare for delivery to the party requesting security

After issuance, compare the bond with the closing instructions before delivering it to the named recipient. Keep the issued document, any acknowledgment and the transaction reference together.

Follow the instructions for this transaction if they require filing, recording or a particular executed original. Do not record the bond merely because a deed is being recorded. Questions about who may redeem, how much redemption costs or when rights expire belong with the attorney reviewing the property.

Questions about this bond

Does a bond remove Alabama’s right of redemption?

No. The statutory right and a bond’s contractual obligation are different matters. Use legal advice for the property’s redemption rights and the requested form for the security being purchased.

Who should be named as the applicant and obligee?

For a financed resale, the seller arranging the security is the principal and the protected mortgage lender is the obligee. Use their exact identities from the bond instructions; do not substitute the former owner or title insurer.

Is the bond amount always the foreclosure purchase price?

Use the amount specified by the party requesting the bond. No purchase-price multiplier or fixed minimum should be inferred from the product name.

Can I purchase directly while preparing the closing documents?

Yes. Purchase Now opens the existing application for this bond. Have the property details, requested form, amount and recipient available so the issued document matches the transaction.
