A: There are too many variables for a situation like yours to give you a definitive (and fair) response to your question. But because you raise important points, especially related to how the law in New York has changed regarding statutes of limitation, I highly recommend you speak to a qualified attorney in this area; ask for a free consultation

Real estate and the debt/mortgage associated with it are often the most substantial asset/liability a person has or will have in their life. The benefit you will receive by having competent legal counsel will usually far outweigh the cost.

A: I'd agree with the other attorney answer... there are too many variables to determine whether the SOL has run out - based on FAPA or otherwise.

Reach out to a Foreclosure Defense or Bankruptcy Attorney to determine which path of resolution is best suited for your situation.

Good luck with your case!
