Plain-English Summary
Section 15-1211 keeps its definition short by cross-reference: notice of foreclosure means the notice made and recorded in accordance with Section 15-1503. That section, not this one, sets out the content and recording requirements.
This term matters because it fixes the reference point Section 15-1210 uses to decide whether a claimant's interest was disclosed of record and therefore not a nonrecord claim.
