The lender then required thirty (30) days to record a certificate of foreclosure must containing  the description of the property, the foreclosure proceedings, the mortgage and the date when the title became absolute toward lender.

Decree of Sale:
If case the decree of foreclosure is adopted then court may proceed by performing three steps

• Court will set up the time and method of the foreclosure sale

• Court will appoint a committee to sell the property

Foreclosure proceeding may be stopped by the borrower at any time prior to the sale by paying off the balance due on the mortgage. In case borrower fails to repay then committee will go forward with the sale. Connecticut Foreclosure Law permits the lender to sue for a deficiency judgment.
