How Foreclosure Defense Attorney Can Save Your Home


Foreclosure is a word that strikes terror into the hearts of homeowners. While Florida gives borrowers in default some advantage by requiring the lender to file a lawsuit and settle the matter before the court, in Florida foreclosures can be disastrous. Not only can you lose your home, but you could end up with a huge deficiency judgment against you if you owe more than the home is worth. However, there are a number of strategies to help you slow down the process. Foreclosure defense can buy you valuable time to save money for a move, or to afford you the opportunity to seek mortgage modification and keep the property.

Challenging Foreclosure

Fighting foreclosure depends entirely on the circumstances of each individual case, as well as the provisions of your mortgage. Here at the McCue Law Firm, we can help you identify laws that can protect you from foreclosure; or alternatively, we can help delay it while determining the viability of options, such as reinstatement, modification, refinancing, short sale, or deed-in-lieu.

    How long is the process of foreclosure and can I be evicted during the process?

    The length of the process is different for each situation. These days, it is rare to see foreclosures taking several years to complete like they did a few years back. With proper representation, however, most foreclosures today take anywhere from 1 year to 18 months from the first missed payment to the date of the auction.

    If my loan modification fails, should I file for bankruptcy?

    There are a lot of factors to consider. Do you owe more on your property than it is worth? Is there a second mortgage that may be strippable in Chapter 13? Can you afford to cure and maintain your mortgage in a Chapter 13 plan? These, and many more questions, will be discussed at the initial consultation with a McCue Law attorney before a decision like this would be made.
