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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A summons does not normally tell you the date of a hearing. It advised you that you have 20 days in which to file an answer. Foreclosure hearings normally take months or more. Check the online docket (available at the clerk of court for the county where the property is located) to see what has... View More
