Mark Thomas v. Joseph P. Casteel Trust

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the Superior Court’s summary‑judgment dismissal of a junior lienholder’s claim that a non‑judicial foreclosure sale should be set aside. The Court held that the failure to give supplemental notice to the state child‑support lien, the low sale price, alleged fraud, and the status of the purchaser as a bona fide purchaser did not constitute the substantial defects required to void or void‑able the sale. Accordingly, the foreclosure sale stands.
