Foreclosures in Alberta are heard in the Court of King's Bench. A lender cannot sell your home without going through the court, and for Spruce Grove that means Edmonton Law Courts, 1A Sir Winston Churchill Square.
Title work runs separately, through Land Titles North — the office is local to you. Land Titles has been slow since the counters closed to walk-ins in September 2025, with registrations reported taking around a hundred days, so build that into any plan with a deadline in it.
A little about Spruce Grove
Alberta's ninth-largest city, compact and young-family oriented, 14 km from Edmonton's limits along Highway 16A. The population is about 37,645.
Predominantly a commuter community, 14 km from Edmonton's limits, so household income generally follows the wider regional economy.
A young-family town that grew over 10% at the last census. Rapid growth means a high proportion of relatively recent purchases, and recent buyers carry thinner equity than long-settled owners. If you bought in the last few years and things have tightened, that is a common position here — and it makes acting early matter more, because there is less cushion to absorb delay.

These are independent organisations — we are not connected to them and are not paid to list them. Insolvency questions go to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee, the only people licensed to advise on them.
What actually happens
Less than people fear. Much of a foreclosure is documents rather than hearings, and an undefended claim moves through its stages without anyone standing up in a courtroom. That is also the risk — the process advances whether or not you engage, so engaging is how you keep a say in it.
