FORECLOSURE

The Ins & Outs of Foreclosure

 

Foreclosure is a legal process by which a lender or creditor can reclaim a property from a borrower who has defaulted on their loan payments or past their maturity date without being able to satisify the current loan. It typically involves the forced sale of the property to repay the outstanding debt.

 

The primary form of foreclosure in California is Trustee foreclosure, unlike Judicial foreclosure, which has court oversight. It’s important to seek counsel during a Trustee foreclosure to bring your case under the court’s purview. Involving an attorney can change many aspects of negotiating with your lender. Typically, your file is assigned to a department that handles more sophisticated cases, and your lender is more likely to cooperate on a foreclosure sale date. Think of hiring an attorney like hiring a mechanic; extending or halting the majority of foreclosure sale dates is like changing the oil.

 

What really sets law offices apart are those that understand not just real estate law but real estate and mortgage finance as a whole. These offices can fine-tune your workout applications to your lender and create alternative workout solutions that benefit you. In commercial foreclosures, modifications are more feasible, but if you need to refinance or liquidate, resources like re-entitling or changing tenancy can add value, and we can assist you with that. For residential foreclosures, modifications are more difficult but still possible. Settlements with junior lenders and other lien holders can create equity attractive to new conventional or private lenders.
