Assuming that it is not contested, my office charges $4,000.00 - $5,000. If you're interested in discussing further, please reach out.

You have until the foreclosure sale, assuming you keep paying your rent to your landlord (who will remain your landlord until the sale).

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.

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.

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.

If you really wanted, you could have an attorney do an abstract of the history of title and the basis... View More

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

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.

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. If the foreclosure sale has not yet occurred (and I fail to see what it matters to you if it... View More

The lawyer would file the case online, but it would be filed in the Circuit Court for Lake County, of course. Why?

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

It will still be secured and you cannot use the homestead exemption against the secured creditor holding the mortgage.

There is no way to guarantee a modification will be granted by your lender, especially without having any knowledge of your debt and income. I would recommend scheduling a consultation.
