You can always sell your home if you own title to it. The question becomes whether you can afford to satisfy your financial obligations to any creditors holding liens against the title of your home.

Provided that you do not wish to retain whatever interest you have in the property, no. You will be defaulted and your interest foreclosed. Of course if the complaint seeks a personal deficiency against you as the mortgagor you would probably want to file an appearance and answer.
We have been renting a house with no lease, on month to month bases. My neighboor told me it's being sold. I went online and it does say house will be auctioned 13/18. I never got any notice or warning about this from my landlord or anybody. What are my rights in this situation? How long do I... View More

My general advice to people in your situation is to start looking for a new place immediately. Even if a buyer at auction takes title subject to your rights as a tenant, he or she can give you notice at any time that your lease expires at the end of the calendar month following the one in which...

My grandmother passed and the family wasn't aware of the forclosure. My mother's name is also on the deed. My grandmother never took her off before she died.

Did the grandmother put the mother's name on house after she took out the mortgage.

I obtained a mortgage in 2008. The property has been in my name solely since February 2014 as my ex husband signed a quit claim deed to the property. His name was never on the mortgage loan. I remarried in April 2014 and my current husband's name is not on the deed or the mortgage and never... View More

No he is not liable for the underlying mortgage debt. The mortgagee has in all likelihood named him because he is an occupant. That gives him an interest in the property. Naming him and obtaining jurisdiction over him gives the foreclosure court the ability to extinguish that interest.

There is not enough information to answer this question definitively. The May 20th deadline could be an order from the foreclosure proceeding to vacate, a date set in an eviction proceeding, or a date imposed by the lender. Unless the deadline is pursuant to some court order there is very little... View More

The quick and easy way to get to the bottom is to have a title company do a title search.

Question is unclear.
State has lien. What kind of lien.
How long to get things out after occupant dies. How are you connected to the deceased. Did the deceased own or rent.
Has an estate been opened.
answered on May 5, 2017
Foreclosure may require more than one court order.
Court orders are signed by judges.

It is the right to pay the balance of the mortgage. If the lender is paid in full , there is no mortgage left to foreclose. 735 ILCS 5/15-1603 provides that this right expires 7 months from the date all mortgagors have been served or 3 months after the entry of a judgment of foreclosure and sale,...

Foreclose could be translated as "wipe out". The mortgagee foreclosed in order to wipe out all liens with less priority in the property than its own. Generally any lien attaching to the property after the mortgage is recorded has less priority. Only if the property sells for a surplus... View More
