Please first read: Foreclosure Help and Options Part 1
           and    Foreclosure Help and Options Part 2

If you are behind in your mortgage payments and/or you have been served notice that your lender is going to foreclose on you- this is the time to take action.

Contact an attorney to make sure that you answer the summons and complaint in a timely manner. Here in Florida- you have 21 calendar days to respond to the foreclosure lawsuit once you have been served. 

Don't put this off. You can contact Legal Aid if you do not have the money to hire an attorney. Our county legal aid society has some forms that you can use to answer your complaint. We are not attorneys so we are not giving you legal advise. Some county courthouses have self help centers where they have all the forms you will need to file your answer so you can ask the court to postpone your foreclosure while you explore your work out options. In the Palm Beach County courthouse building they also have inside of the self help center- attorneys you can talk to for a very minimal fee.

You may also contact us to put you in touch with an attorney who can explain the foreclosure process, Florida foreclosure laws and what your rights and options are.

 Each state is different and has different laws so this series is regarding Florida short sales and foreclosures. We go into great depth about each step of this process on our Florida short sales webpage.

We will cover more on this subject further into this series.
