She had seven children and none were listed by name.

Usually the plaintiff in a foreclosure case has no idea who the heirs are. So yes, of course it's legal.
A Judge stated she would confer with another Judge after the hearing. I need to know how to request something in writing from the Judge to see if she did it or not and if she did, what did she say or if she didn't why not. I need it to be done in a way that a Judge another Judge in appeals... View More

I will not bother to explain why--but I will say that you are trying to go down a dangerous path leading to places you do not ever want to go.
There is no legal way to "get something in writing" from a judge "to see if she did something" that "she said she would... View More
Hello. In 2018 a deceased family member's home was destroyed by Category 5 Hurricane Michael while still in probate. We had been keeping up with all payments on the estate, until we were told by Wells Fargo that they would no longer accept payments. We have had a case open since October 2018,... View More

Having the probate papers will not stop Wells Fargo Bank--unless you can convince the probate judge to take jurisdiction in order to preserve the assets of the estate. This strategy will require someone with proper credentials to appraise the storm damaged property high enough to be able to sell it... View More

Assuming that it is not contested, my office charges $4,000.00 - $5,000. If you're interested in discussing further, please reach out.
Does that mean we have until the sale date to move out or is it 30 days after the judgement? We haven't received any notice ever. But we can see it online in public records.

You have until the foreclosure sale, assuming you keep paying your rent to your landlord (who will remain your landlord until the sale).
There is no equity in the property

The mortgagee might seek a deficiency judgment against her, although it might not be possible to collect such a judgment.

I assume it's a tax foreclosure rather than a mortgage foreclosure. In any event, it depends upon the terms of your lease if you have one. If you still have, pursuant to the terms of the lease (or at-will tenancy), the right to occupy the premises when the foreclosure is complete and the... View More

In Florida, the answer is yes. Under most association bylaws, the revenue generated from the sale will likely go to the homeowners' association. Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

No, the summons cannot be served on her if she is dead. You might want to contact an attorney to quash the service, but that would merely give you slightly more time, perhaps.
I have a pending foreclosure auction date. I have multiple offers on the house. The judgement specifies a dollar amount plus interest. Can the lender take more from proceeds of a sale? Also how do I have the judgement dismissed after we close on the sale?
answered on Feb 24, 2019
The proceeds from closing would be paid to the mortgagee, who would then file a dismissal of the judgment. Get an attorney to make sure it happens right.
I need the whole case file. For instance in Miami dade county you can only see one page. I need the entire records to view online

Yes, check the website for the clerk of court in the pertinent county. Look for court records. Foreclosures in Florida are judicial; (as opposed to non-judicial in some states) there would be a court case for each.

You no longer have an attorney representing you in the case; you are representing yourself (It's called "pro se"). Get another attorney.

The statutes of limitation, doctrine of laches and waiver all will bar you from making any claim that is almost 100 years old. Most of these statutes are 4 or 5 years. At most, 20 years.

about foreclosure. What can I do to stop the proceedings now that I've learned about the situation?
answered on Dec 9, 2018
You should retain a foreclosure defense attorney who can file a response with the court on your behalf and gain you some time. That attorney can help determine what is owed on the property, and if there are any other liens other than the mortgage. If the property is worth less than what is owed,... View More
My husband committed suicide and I haven’t been there for 9 years.
answered on Nov 22, 2018
No, you don't have to go to court. You will either be defaulted or (more likely) you will be dropped from the suit. You have not been properly served with process. In any event, the notice you received was just sent to you in case you might want to assert some claim to the property.
What can i do to avoid this court case in Pasco county
answered on Nov 12, 2018
I'm sorry for your loss. If you did not sign any Note or personal guaranty and you have no interest in retaining the property, you will not be affected by any judgment that is entered to foreclose, however, it is best that you file a response so that you keep informed of all activity as the...

You should be able to file for bankruptcy protection by December. And remember, if they obtain a final judgment, the sale will probably be another 45 days at least. If you can't file for bankruptcy protection in 2 1/2 months, chances are further delay will not help.

If the home was sold in foreclosure to the liquidated bank, and if the bank was liquidated, there will be an institution (another bank perhaps) which will succeed to the assets of the liquidated bank.

Anyone can bid it is a public auction; or if seller agrees you can buy via a short sale now. You should hire a lawyer before you do anything to make sure there are no other liens on it and help you with the process.
