Find a Foreclosure Lawyer
When a debtor falls behind on his or her mortgage payments, the lender may initiate proceedings to essentially repossess the property. This is referred to as foreclosure, and 2.9 million households received foreclosure filings in 2011 alone. What can a homeowner do in the face of foreclosure? There may be various options to consider, and one of the ways to make an informed choice and possibly save your home will be to involve a foreclosure lawyer.
A lawyer who understands the ins and outs of foreclosure proceedings in your area can help you understand what to expect and can advise you of the options available to you, such as a loan modification, deed in lieu of foreclosure, short sale or possibly bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy, for example, may enable you to save your home. Because every case is different and your financial needs and goals may vary, we highly recommend finding a qualified attorney in your area.
