FORECLOSURE OVERVIEW
Law You Can Understand
Foreclosure
Overview
Florida is a lien theory state which means that your property acts as security for the underlying loan. The document that places the lien on the property is known as your mortgage. A mortgage is filed as evidence of the debt and terms of repayment, which is set forth in the note.
If you stop making payments on your mortgage and fall seriously behind you could face the risk of foreclosure. Depending on the court schedule, it usually takes approximately 180-200 days to effectuate an uncontested foreclosure. However, this process may be delayed if the borrower contests the action, seeks delays and adjournments of hearings, or files for bankruptcy.
Filing for bankruptcy may stop home foreclosure and help you keep most of you property.
