Q: I was left property in my mother's will. I was paying the mortgage 2 years.
Bank and mortgage company were notified of her passing, and were accepting payment from me. Then property was foreclosed and sold with no notification, until after the sale...
A:
If you still have possession of the house/property, you can file in court for an injunction and stop the foreclosure. If you have left, you would have a very hard time getting back possession. Notice is a key part of any foreclosure. This would also be helped if you had the property put through surrogate's court.
Seek out a lawyer immediately if you want to fix this legal problem.
Good Luck!
