Kentucky Foreclosure Judgment Rights

Summary

In Kentucky, once a foreclosure judgment is entered, the contract terms typically merge into the judgment, potentially affecting the right to reinstate a loan. The merger doctrine and KRS 426.525 are significant in this context. Case laws like First Federal Savings and Loan Assoc. Of Louisville v. McReynolds and Whitaker v. Whitaker Bank, Inc. Provide insights into how these legal principles are applied. If your mortgage servicer offers reinstatement post-judgment, it may be based on specific terms or agreements. For detailed guidance, consulting a local attorney or accessing legal databases for case law is advisable.
