I'm not a California attorney, and the law and procedure can differ from one state to the next, but unless you agreed to this in advance, somehow, I'd say that the only way they can take a piece of property they have no lien on would be by completing the foreclosure including the sale, suing you and getting a deficiency judgment for the balance of the loan left after the sale, and then executing that judgment on the other property, with notice to you along the way.
For advice you can rely on, you should discuss all of the facts of your situation with a lawyer in your area. One place to find counsel is our website, http://attorneypages.com
