Pre-foreclosure /existing mortgage

[Bryan Boulware]

Hello, Very new and my first post. I have a possibly silly question. General curiosity because I can't seem to get a clear answer. But on a preforeclosure whole sale, who takes care of the existing mortgage loan? Is that settled direct from the new buyer? Or is it still the responsibility of the seller to settle the existing loan? Thank you in advance. The greatest website on the internet!!!
