Straight answer
Can the bank auction the financed property?
Yes. In financing with fiduciary lien, after default and notice to pay, the bank may consolidate ownership in its name and take the property to auction. The procedure has legal deadlines and requirements, such as personal notice to the debtor and notification of the auction dates. Flaws in this procedure can lead to suspension or annulment. It is also possible to negotiate or exercise the right of first refusal to buy, depending on the stage.
