Is Foreclosure a Complicated Legal Process?

Foreclosure is not a complicated legal process but it can be confusing to the average homeowner struck in it. The exact legal process varies from state to state and county to county, however, the overall process is very similar.

A homeowner gets behind on his mortgage and a Notice of Default ("NOD") is issued by a legal service processor, such as certified mail, sheriff, or public notice. The defendant has a period to reply and if the default is not cured, the entire amount of the mortgage or deed of trust is due and payable. The time involved in this part of the process varies by the type of lien in place on the property.

A deed of trust may not require a judicial proceeding, or actually going to court since the trust deed stipulates specifically what action the lender is allowed to take to sell the property or have a new deed issued in his name. If this happens, he can next evict the homeowner essentially just like a rental tenant. In some states a judicial proceeding is required, in which case, the lender must petition the court to issue a final judgment amount for the mortgage deficiency and then set a date for the sale of the home.

Under no circumstances should the homeowner try to avoid service of the lis pendens or any legal notice from the court or the trustee of the lender. It may seem like not accepting these legal documents will stall the foreclosure, but quite the contrary, the legal notice will simply be put in the local newspaper and have the same effect. It is not an excuse that "I didn't know about it" that some people tell the sheriff as they are being evicted. The homeowner's best option is to accept the legal notice and read it carefully. It will completely detail what timeframe is prescribed by law and what the homeowner has to do to respond or how to cure the amount owed.

The NOD will stipulate that the loan is immediately due and payable in full. While that is true, in the real world, it is not the case that the homeowner must pay off the entire loan immediately. The homeowner has a "cure" period or a certain amount of days to fix the problem by negotiating a settlement with the lender, such as a loan modification or reinstatement of the existing loan, or even possible refinancing (unlikely). If the lender is uncooperative, it may be because the lender knows there is equity in the home and he can take it back and sell it for a profit.

In summary, the legal process of foreclosure is not complicated as legal processes go. However, it is a process that is very time sensitive and any procrastination on the homeowner's part will definitely be very harmful. It is recommended that the homeowner become familiar with the legal documents he is served and read his loan agreement to see what it says will happen in the event of a default. If there still are questions, he should become more informed about the entire legal process in his state and focus on resolving the problem that got him into foreclosure in the first place.
