Can prior owners redeem their property after foreclosure?
Prior owners have no rights to the property after foreclosure, UNLESS they were a minor or declared legally incompetent. Minors and those legally incompetent have the right to redeem the parcel any time within three years from the date of the foreclosure sale. If they do so, they must pay the sale amount, plus interest and penalty on the tax amount, if any. Any improvements made by the new owner would be reimbursed to the new owner by the prior owner upon prior owner's redemption (RCW84.64.070).
