Building upon the previous written assignment, contractual agreements also provide methods for securing and retaining property. There are various methods in securing and retaining ownership of property or a right to ownership of the subject property. When a party fails to maintain his or her obligation under the contractual agreement, the subject property is subjected to foreclosure. This is facilitated through concepts such as title and lien theories. Each state has its own theory on this issue, which is described as using judicial foreclosure or non-judicial foreclosure.
Outside of foreclosures, a buyer typically will purchase the property via various real estate finance options. In terms of real estate financing, there are multiple methods. These methods range from conventional mortgages, to government-insured loans to seller financing options. In this essay assignment, you will also explore these aspects as well.

Sample Solution
The foreclosure process is marginally different in every state, but universal in some aspects. Incase you are facing foreclosure as a result of missed mortgage payments, or just need help in understanding the laws and processes that may occur in your state, you’ve come to the right place.

This section also includes state-specific information on foreclosure and what you can do to stop or slow down the foreclosure process
within the scope of abuse of rights, making it the first example of circumvention. Van Binsbergens lawyer had established himself in Belgium in order to avoid stricter rules in the Netherlands, which under Dutch law meant he lost the right to represent his client. This clearly constitutes circumvention, where a person: (1) established himself in another Member State, (2) in order to avoid the legislation of his home Member State. Though Centros narrowed the scope of the general concept, this remains the most common form of alleged abuse of rights before the CJEU.
2.3 Fraudulent Behaviour
In order to benefit from countless provisions of Union law, certain conditions must be fulfilled honestly and obtained in good faith. For fraud to occur, the claim to rights here must be based on objective false premises. An example can be found in the Van de Bijl case, where Dutch authorities questioned the validity of a certificate which a painter claimed meant that pursuant to Directive 64/427/EEC, he should be allowed to perform professionally in another Member State. The false certificate was deemed enough to constitute fraud, and Van de Bijl was not allowed access to the rights he sought.
2.4 Misuse
Misuse is a broad concept which encompasses activities by economic actors which are, in their result, contrary to the purpose of the right in question. In such a situation, the question is if the national measures at issue jeopardise the supremacy and uniform application of Union law. National courts are thus free to apply measures up to this point only, as to do otherwise would be contrary to the division of authority between Member State and the Union.
