Welcome mofast,
In California, as far as I know, the lender cannot sue you for the deficient amount resulting from the sale of the property. In such a case, the deficient amount would be forgiven. Depending upon the Mortgage Debt Relief Act, the taxes can be forgiven. To know more, you can check out the given page:
