Here is my answer, you have no idea if the property owner has enlisted and is a protected servicemember and therefore the DMDC database should ALWAYS be checked. It is possible you'll reply that the owner is 70 years old and wouldn't be eligible. That may be the case, but if the owner is 30, I'd be checking.
The attorney handling the foreclosure may be required to advise the court that the borrower is in fact not SCRA protected. I would advise them the borrower who is not an owner is protected as there may be some extra steps to follow to reach for any deficiency amounts after the sale.
