The good news is that you do have options. While everyone’s individual circumstances are unique, once the actual process of foreclosure has commenced, you are dealing with the legal system, which has its own rules, timeframes, and processes that are applied to everyone, regardless of their story. While no one wants to be in a position where they cannot pay their mortgage and are sued by the bank to recover the collateral, your home, it is important to remember that the legal process takes time and because it is the bank that is initiating the lawsuit against you, the bank has the burden to prove their case against you. This means that unless the bank can show by a preponderance of the evidence that they have a valid, legal and proper lien against your property, they cannot recover their collateral. Bottom line is that we are talking about your home, it is probably worth fighting for and while no ethical attorney will ever offer a guarantee of a particular outcome, the reality is that there is a litany of legal defenses that can be raised which could result in you prevailing in your case and staying in your home. Even if you do not prevail, it could take between 18 and 36 months or more for the foreclosure process to get from the first stage, service of the lawsuit, to the end of the case, final judgment and judicial auction. During this period of time, you are still in your home and, most likely, no longer paying the mortgage, which is probably the biggest expense in your life. With time comes opportunity and for many, a short break from the pressure of their monthly payment off their back, they can put money on the side and begin the process of reclaiming their life.
