How the Foreclosure Process Works
There are two types of foreclosure processes in the United States. They include non-judicial and judicial. Non-judicial means that lenders do not have to get approval of the court to foreclose. In judicial foreclosures, a lender must prove to the court why it has the right to foreclose on a mortgage. Florida is a judicial foreclosure state, so your lender will have go to court and file a foreclosure lawsuit to officially begin foreclosure proceedings. Once this filing takes place, you will be served with a complaint that informs you there is a suit pending against you and your property. The complaint will lay out the claims the lender is making against you.
If you wish to keep your home, you must respond to the complaint within 20 days. If you fail to respond, the foreclosure will most likely go ahead. If you are not yet working with an attorney, it is to your benefit to get legal help when the official foreclosure lawsuit has been filed if you wish to keep your home. How you respond to each claim in the complaint from your lender can affect defenses you may be able to use later in court. Carlos M. Amor, our knowledgeable Davie, Florida, foreclosure defense attorney can help ensure that you respond in the most advantageous way possible.
Pre-Foreclosure Loss Mitigation Options
Prior to officially foreclosing, by law your lender must inform you about possible ways to stay in your home. You may qualify for a loan modification, mortgage forbearance or a repayment plan:
- Loan modification. In loan modification, lenders agree to permanently modify loan terms to reduce monthly payments, typically by extending the length of the loan.
- Mortgage forbearance. Mortgage forbearance temporarily halts or reduces mortgage payments, allowing borrowers time to improve their financial situation.
- Repayment plan. If you are behind on your mortgage but are now in a position to continue making payments, a repayment plan may allow you to repay missed payments over time.
There are also options for avoiding foreclosure if your goal is not to keep your home. These include a deed in lieu of foreclosure and a short sale. Once our Davie, Florida, foreclosure defense attorney understands your situation and goals, he can counsel you about a possible way forward.

Client Testimonial
“I have used Carlos for the last 5 or so years. He has helped me achieve 2 settlements with banks I sued, retain property out of foreclosure for good. I have used him to quiet title, evictions, getting escrow money back on deals that went bad, sending letters to people, foreclosure defense and litigation, and other real estate matter requiring a lawyer like probate cases. He is usually easy to reach on his cell, and responds quickly. He is not a rip off like most lawyers down here who charge you for paper clips and don’t know what they are talking about. I would recommend giving him a try , especially if you are using one of these rip off lawyers we have so many of in south Florida.” – Buy Wholesale (Google Review)
