There are limited circumstances under which a plaintiff (typically the borrower) might try to revoke or challenge the validity of a submitted Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure (DIL). Generally, once the lender accepts and files the DIL, revocation is highly unlikely unless a valid legal basis exists.

You have provided insufficient information for me to know exactly what is happening. But it sounds as though your mortgage may be in arrears due to unpaid fees or other charges. If the amount tendered is not precisely correct including any late fees or other charges, a lender will often reject it... View More

Unless the note or mortgage provide for a length of delinquency longer than 30 days, you can begin the foreclosure proceedings upon proper notice of the default and acceleration of the mortgage. Schedule a free consultation to ensure you are ready to begin the foreclosure process.
