What Is Involved in a Foreclosure?
Once you fall behind in your mortgage payments, usually 3-4 months, your lender will file a lawsuit to foreclose on your home. Your lender hopes that you, like many others, will give up, fail to speak with an attorney and not respond. Your lender can then seek a quick summary judgment. If they prevail, your home will be sold on the courthouse steps in as little as 4-6 months.
You are entitled to a fair process and to your day in court. By hiring an attorney and responding timely, you can keep your options open, perhaps for many more months. You can stay in your home during the fight and avoid the expense of moving or paying expensive rents you cannot afford. You retain the leverage of possession and that might help to negotiate a modification or release that best suits your needs.
The clock is ticking if you have been served by a process server. You have 20 days to respond to the notice of foreclosure. If that amount of time passes without a response by you, you may lose important rights and defenses available to you before you even get started. The lender will move forward and a default or summary judgment may be rendered with a courthouse sale to follow soon thereafter. Don't make the mistake of
