"A power of sale has been granted in this mortgage. A power of sale may allow the mortgagee to take the mortgaged property and sell it without going to court in a foreclosure action upon default by the mortgagor under this mortgage,") ( 46 OK Stat 46-43) Many lenders prefer a mortgage with power of sale, it can save time and expense if a foreclosure occurs.
