Word for banks and other institutions taking possession of your assets because you didn't comply with the contract

Is there a specific word or expression for this process?

When a family doesn't have enough money and has to move out because their house is now owned by the bank, what's the word for what happened to the house?

The house was ____ by the bank

Or when you mortgage valuable items to borrow money and you can't pay the debt, what happens to your golden watch or your car, for example?

My car was ____ by the bank

If these are not the correct sentence structures for the situation, what's the best way to express the idea?

Thanks in advance
