Foreclosure Defense

Foreclosure Defense Lawyers in Richmond

No matter where you live, foreclosure is a fast process. A payment is considered delinquent just one day after its due date, and lenders can take action soon after. In Virginia, lenders can sell your home with or without judicial oversight. This means that, depending on if your mortgage includes a power of sale clause, a lender may or may not have to file a lawsuit with the court to foreclose on your property. In either case, at the end of the foreclosure process, you will be evicted from your home. The entire process can take as little as 60 to 90 days.

Foreclosure Defense Options in Virginia

Depending on the type of foreclosure your lender uses (judicial vs. non-judicial) and where you are in the process, you may have several options at your disposal.

Your lawyer may be able to help you:

  • Request a loan modification. If you submit this request in time, your lender may need to pause the foreclosure proceeding until they review your information. They could then extend the terms, reduce the interest rate, eliminate late fees, implement forbearance, or otherwise modify your mortgage to help you avoid foreclosure.
  • Challenge the foreclosure. If your lender failed to follow proper foreclosure protocol, missed the statute of limitations, or made a serious mistake regarding your account, we may be able to expose these issues and delay or cancel the foreclosure proceeding. The foreclosure might also be invalid if the lender lacks standing, meaning they cannot prove they own the loan.
  • Take advantage of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act. If you get a mortgage before or after going on active duty, you have special protections against foreclosure. Specifically, the foreclosure must be heard in a court of law, and you may be able to delay the process.
  • File for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to propose a 3 to 5-year repayment plan based on your disposable income. Because of the automatic stay, your lender cannot initiate or continue the foreclosure process until the end of your case. If you catch up on arrears by the end of the plan, you can effectively rescue your home.

The most appropriate course of action depends on your unique circumstances. This is why we take as much time as necessary to understand each client’s situation before recommending a solution.
