Its the period of time before a bank initiates foreclosure proceedings against a homeowner in court.

No way to say without more info. But if you just got a lis pendens that is typically done at the start of a case. Thus this appears to be the beginning of the case for you.

Good luck.

Provided a lis pendens has not already been filed on the property in court to commence foreclosure proceedings I do not see why not. Although a history of late payments may be another obstacle to consider. Hope this helps.

In theory you can sell it, but most likely the mortgage is still a lien against the property. I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney here in Florida to look at your title history and then give you advice on what you can do.

If you are not on the note or the mortgage, you are being named only as a person who might have an interest in the property. If you do not respond than a default will be entered against you and ultimately a judgment will be entered which will foreclose any interest you have in your... View More

You may remain in the home up and until your local county sheriff's office executes or post a writ of possession issued from the clerk's office on the front door of the property.

The N.O.D. or notice of default does not have to be sent via certified mail, though it would be good practice. I suspect the reason banks do not send it via certified mail is due to keeping its costs down. Furthermore, up and until a writ of possession is issued and executed by the sheriff of your...

Foreclosure takes several months, at a minimum; it could take considerably longer.

You could make a deal with your mom whereby your aunt's interest in the property is assigned to you (after probate) and you settle with the bank. Or you could try to buy the place at the foreclosure... View More

It depends upon the grounds upon which she might prevail and the terms of the order granting judgment to your wife. If you don't defend yourself in the lawsuit, you very well might be defaulted. In such case she very well might prevail and you might not.

Hire a lawyer to seek a writ of possession and a LLC cannot represent itself (ie. you) in court pro se by rule.

Can the other side seek a default judgment against you? Sure, but the lawyer's duty to oppose it depends on what agreement you have with the lawyer. Normally, the attorney is not going to have an obligation to represent you until you pay. But if you are faced with such a motion, call the... View More

The purchaser at the foreclosure sale has the right to possession at the time of sale.

This is a matter of New Jersey law, so you should have asked it in Justia › Ask a Lawyer › New Jersey › Foreclosure ›. But the likely answer is no: you are not responsible; they named you in the lawsuit only for the purpose of terminating any claim to the property, not to hold you... View More

No, you don't. "Squatter's rights" (the ability of someone to claim land he or she has no belief that the land is lawfully his) has never existed. What you are thinking of is "adverse possession" (See Florida Statute 95.13-95.18). These are statutes of limitation,... View More
