These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 1 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"After the foreclosure sale of the mortgaged property, if there are no other liens on the property, any surplus must be paid to the mortgagor. 55 Am. Jur. 2d Mortgages § 930 (1971). However, if there are inferior liens and there is a surplus, all encumbrances inferior to the mortgage on which the sale is based must be paid in the order of time in which they respectively became liens . 55 Am. Jur. 2d Mortgages § 931 (1971). "If there are no surplus proceeds, the only remedy or recourse available to a junior encumbrancer is the right to redeem. The statutory right of redemption is set forth in Ala. Code 1975, § 6-5-230."”
