Walk It Through: The Sheriff Sale

Missed payments, a notice of seizure with no lawsuit first, fifteen days to appeal, and what the sale leaves behind.

After months of missed payments, a notice of seizure arrives. No lawsuit papers ever came first.

Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A home mortgage foreclosed by executory process. A foreclosure by ordinary lawsuit, a bankruptcy filing, and federal loss mitigation rules are not worked through here.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
