A. If the seller elects to forfeit the purchaser’s interest in the property, the seller and the account servicing agent, if one has been appointed, shall record a notice of election to forfeit with the county recorder of the county in which the real property is located. A notice of election to forfeit is ineffective unless recorded after expiration of the applicable period prescribed in section 33-742, subsection D. A copy of the notice shall be served, either by delivery in person or by deposit in the United States mail, first class, postage prepaid, at least twenty days prior to the effective date of the forfeiture, on the purchaser and on persons who, at the time of recordation of the notice of election to forfeit, appear on the records of the county recorder of the county in which the real property is located as having an interest in or a lien or encumbrance on the property, the priority of which is subordinate to that of the seller, or who have requested a copy of such notice in the manner provided by section 33-746. If mailed, the notice shall be addressed to the last mailing address filed in writing with the seller or with the account servicing agent or as designated on the request for copy of notice of election to forfeit. If no address has been filed with the seller or the account servicing agent, a copy of the notice may be mailed in care of the person to whom any recorded document evidencing an interest in or a lien or encumbrance on the property was directed to be mailed at the time of its recording.

B. The notice of election to forfeit shall be substantially in the following form:

Failure to serve a copy of the notice of election to forfeit on each person as stated in subsection A of this section does not invalidate the service of the notice of election to forfeit as to persons served but extends the effective date of the forfeiture until at least twenty days after the persons not previously served have been served with a copy of the notice.
