As highly-qualified Daytona Beach foreclosure defense attorneys, we understand how confusing and frustrating the thought of foreclosure can be. Below is a list of some common question clients have regarding foreclosure.
For other answers to your questions, please do not hesitate to call our office right away.
Can I walk away from my mortgage?
It may seem reasonable to obtain a “Strategic Default” when
you owe more on your mortgage than your house is worth. Such a default
must be done properly, otherwise you can lose your property and be liable
for considerable fines to the lender. Consult with a Daytona Beach foreclosure
lawyer if you are considering a strategic default.
What is a deed in lieu of foreclosure?
This is an agreement between a borrower and lender letting the borrower
turn over the title of the property to the lender. This way, the lender
essentially owns the property and the borrower can avoid a foreclosure
proceeding.
What is a deficiency judgment?
Lenders can pursue a deficiency judgment against a borrower when the proceeds
of a foreclosure sale are insufficient to pay the amount left over on
the mortgage. Lenders typically have up to five years after foreclosure
to seek a deficiency judgment.
What is a demand or acceleration letter?
This is a letter from a lender to a homeowner when the homeowner goes
into default on their mortgage. Lenders need to send the letter prior
to proceeding with a foreclosure suit for the whole of the loan.
How long do I have to answer a foreclosure lawsuit?
In Florida, you have only 20 days to file a response to a lawsuit. Afterwards,
you will have fewer options. Your first move should be to call an attorney
if you have been served with a lawsuit.
What are the alternatives to foreclosure?
Several alternatives are available such as short sales, deed in lieu of
foreclosure, and mortgage or loan modifications. Your best bet is to speak
with an experienced Daytona Beach foreclosure attorney when you are in
danger of foreclosure to have your highest chances of a successful outcome.
