When a Home Auction Sale is Void Ab Initio: The Truth About Unauthorized Trustee Sales in Non-Judicial Foreclosures

When a Home Auction Sale is Void Ab Initio: The Truth About Unauthorized Trustee Sales in Non-Judicial Foreclosures

In today’s mortgage and foreclosure landscape, countless homeowners have unknowingly become victims of fraudulent trustee sales carried out through non-judicial foreclosure processes. These transactions, often masked with official-looking documents and legal jargon, may appear legitimate—but under contract and property law, they may be void ab initio, or invalid from the very beginning.

This article explains what happens when a homeowner lawfully conveys their home to a private trust, how loan servicers and unauthorized trustees railroad people into illegal sales, and how fraud nullifies the entire process—no matter how much time has passed.


🔒 Placing Your Home in a Private Trust

When you transfer your property into a private trust using a grant deed, you:

  • Remove the asset from your personal name,

  • Place it under the protection of private contract law,

  • And assign both legal and equitable title to the trust.

That grant deed becomes the official and lawful title to the property, and the trust becomes the sole legal authority over its disposition.


⚠️ Non-Judicial Foreclosure: A Tool for Deception

Non-judicial foreclosure is designed as a streamlined, out-of-court process that allows a trustee to sell a home after a borrower allegedly defaults on a loan.

But it has become a tool for abuse and deception, especially by loan servicers and mortgage debt collectors, who:

  • Ignore due process,

  • File fraudulent assignments of trustee,

  • And initiate foreclosure sales without legal authority.

These actions often occur in the midst of administrative processes—such as Qualified Written Requests (QWRs), Debt Validation Notices (FDCPA), or private arbitration procedures—where the homeowner is actively asserting their rights or disputing the debt.

Instead of responding in good faith, servicers railroad homeowners through foreclosure, bypassing the administrative process and attempting to finalize the theft through a Trustee’s Deed of Sale.


🧾 They’re Not Selling the Home—They’re Selling the Lien

Here’s the core truth:
The Trustee’s Deed of Sale in a non-judicial foreclosure does not transfer ownership of the home. It transfers only the security interest—the lien—that is attached to the home.

If the trustee assignment is fraudulent, and the lienholder has no valid standing, then the trustee is selling a lien they don’t legally control.

Thus, the buyer receives no lawful title—and the sale is null and void.


❌ Why the Sale Is Void Ab Initio

Void ab initio means the action was never valid from the beginning.

The trustee’s deed of sale is void ab initio if:

  • The trustee was never properly or lawfully assigned,

  • There was no verified default,

  • The administrative procedure was ongoing,

  • Or if the sale occurred in bad faith or in retaliation.

Upon proper articulation and objection by the injured party, the entire sale collapses legally—no matter how “final” it may appear on paper.

This is supported by the maxim:

Fraud vitiates everything it touches.”

And most importantly:

Fraud has no statute of limitations.
A fraudulent deed, once exposed, can be challenged and voided at any time, regardless of how much time has passed since the sale.


🛡️ The Trust Still Holds Title

Since the trust never authorized the sale, and the chain of title was broken through fraud, the original grant deed to the private trust remains intact.

In legal terms:

  • The fraudulent trustee’s deed conveys nothing.

  • The grant deed to the trust is the rightful title of record.

  • The homeowner, through the trust, retains full legal and equitable interest in the property.


🔚 Final Thought: Know the Game, and Stand Your Ground

Loan servicers rely on speed, silence, and confusion to ram through non-judicial foreclosures, often amidst valid administrative procedures. But when exposed and properly objected to, their actions amount to unlawful conversion, fraud, and abuse of process—not legitimate foreclosure.

A Trustee’s Deed of Sale, issued by a fraudulent or unauthorized trustee, is not worth the paper it’s printed on. It is void ab initio, and no lawful title transfers. The property remains under the authority of the trust, and the homeowner retains the power to challenge and undo the fraud.

Because in law—truth stands, fraud falls, and time does not shield the guilty.

Fraud Upon the Court and Judicial Complicity: Judge Marquez Aids RICO Conspirators and Attempts to Punish “the People”

A federal RICO action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California unveils a calculated scheme orchestrated by attorneys Barry Lee O’Connor and John Bailey, in concert with MARINAJ PROPERTIES and the Doumit family. The Verified Complaint lays out a detailed pattern of racketeering involving simulated legal proceedings, fraudulent conveyance, and theft of trust assets through a void and defective Trustee’s Deed. Despite perfected title claims and unrebutted affidavits establishing lawful ownership, Judge Rachel A. Marquez has enabled the misconduct by shielding culpable parties and targeting the rightful beneficiaries asserting their rights. The suit cites violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1962 (RICO), 241 (conspiracy against rights), and 1341 (mail fraud), along with California Civil Code §§ 1709 (fraud) and 3346 (treble damages for wrongful injury to property). This case exemplifies judicial corruption—where bar-protected insiders act with impunity while private Americans are silenced. The court’s response will reveal whether justice, equity, and due process remain alive in California.

How the UCC is Codified in EVERY State: A State-by-State Codification of the UCC and Core Commercial Law Principles

UCC §§ 1-103, 3-104, 3-601, and 3-603 operate as the foundation of lawful commercial remedy across all 50 states. Section 1-103 ensures equity, common law, and the Law Merchant remain enforceable alongside UCC processes. Section 3-104 defines what qualifies as a negotiable instrument—an essential element in debt discharge. Section 3-601 codifies the principle that all obligations can be discharged by contract, agreement, or valid performance. Section 3-603 delivers the lethal commercial strike: once lawful tender is made—even if refused—the obligation is discharged as a matter of law. These statutes, codified in every U.S. jurisdiction, are the legal artillery that allow secured parties and private trusts to assert control, tender discharge, and permanently terminate fraudulent or unperfected claims. Use them with precision—or be used by those who will.

Void Means Void: When Judges Act Without Jurisdiction, Their Orders Are Legal Nullities

When a court acts without lawful jurisdiction—whether through improper removal, lack of subject matter or personal authority, or constitutional violations—its orders are void ab initio and carry no legal force. This article explains how judges who continue to issue rulings after losing jurisdiction are not merely mistaken—they are acting under color of law and are subject to direct civil liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Backed by black-letter case law and statutory authority, this piece dismantles the myth of absolute judicial immunity and affirms a fundamental truth in law: jurisdiction is everything. When it’s gone, so is the court’s power to act.
