  • Foreclosure

    • What does foreclosure mean for me?

      Before the real estate market collapsed, many individuals borrowed money to either refinance or purchase a new home. In exchange for money lending, people promised that if they could not pay back the loan, then the bank or money lender could legally take the home as an act of settling the debt. This process is referred to as foreclosure.

      So, what could foreclosure mean for you? For some, foreclosure evokes stress and anxiety, especially since foreclosure presumes that the bank or lending company could take ownership of your home. This is not necessarily true. In the foreclosure process, you can only be evicted from your home by the court. In most cases, this process can take months to complete. During that time, a foreclosure defense attorney can fight for your case, effectively buying you more time to help ensure that you stay in your home.
