I spoke to an attorney a few years back who advised if I wanted to pursue the property I should be prepared to spend thousands & thousands of dollars which I'm not prepared to do. My question is do I just wait for everything to play out and be contacted by the courts on the outcome.... Read more »

If the property is in foreclosure and you have an interest in the property (not clear from your fact pattern, since you said your mother's husband owned the property) you most certainly do not want to wait to see how everything plays out.

If you only have a Lease with Option to Purchase, then you do not own real property, only a contract right. That would be personal property which you could reaffirm or discharge. If you are the land owner, then that could easily be property of the BR Estate. If debt is in default, the... Read more »

If the new husband is not on the existing deed to your friend's home, and they do are not joint obligors on any other debts, e.g., credit cards, etc., a foreclosure against the "divorce home" should have no legal impact upon your friend's home or mortgage.

answered on May 2, 2023
I agree with Mr. Winterstein. Since your friend is not an obligor on the Mortgage the Foreclosure will have no legal effect on her individually. However, if there is a deficiency after the foreclosure and the lender seeks to enforce it against her new husband it could have effects on the... Read more »

He passed away in 2021, the house went into foreclosure last year, and then they auctioned it off, and that was the last I heard about it until I was just contacted about there being surplus funds from the sale.

answered on Apr 14, 2023
Excess funds from the sale belong to his estate. The reason why you were notified that the Clerk is holding excess funds is because there was likely a second mortgage, home equity line of credit, judgment lien, or tax lien (often more than one of these) that remains unpaid. You should contact a... Read more »
