If you have recently received a foreclosure notice, please read on to learn more about what you can do to protect yourself.
What can a bankruptcy attorney do to protect me from foreclosure?
Fortunately, a knowledgeable and aggressive bankruptcy attorney can analyze your specific situation and determine the best way forward from there. If you are being sued by your mortgage lender with a foreclosure lawsuit, we will do the following:
- First, we will serve an answer and a notice of appearance on your behalf.
- We will then state that all defenses must be communicated within 30 days of the lawsuit.
- Next, we will demand all mortgage loan-related documentation, such as the chain of title of your mortgage, your payment history, and more.
- From here, the banks should participate in a loan modification program to reinstate your mortgage, reduce your interest rate, reduce your mortgage principal, mitigate your monthly payments, or extend your mortgage to either 30 or 40 years.
