Legal Guidance from The Law Office of Mark B. French

You have a few options to resolve your current financial issues if your house is subject to foreclosure actions. Short sale is one available defense against foreclosure. Short sales occur when the bank agrees to accept the amount the home has sold for even if that amount is less than the balance on the mortgage. Filing for bankruptcy is another defense option available if you are faced with foreclosure.

Whether you choose to file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, an automatic stay will be placed on the foreclosure proceedings once you file. Bankruptcy can provide you with the necessary time to resolve your debt issues in order to keep your home. Completion of a bankruptcy will also protect you against a deficiency judgment by the mortgage lender.
