If you have worries about meeting your mortgage payments or have been served foreclosure papers, knowing how the foreclosure process works should be top priority. The foreclosure process is usually initiated by mortgage companies within 3 to 6 months after you first miss a mortgage payment. The whole process may move more quickly if you are already in default, so make sure that you obtain appropriate legal advice.
Once a foreclosure lawsuit has been filed, you have 20 days to respond to the Summons and Complaint. The lender may move for a default if you don’t provide a response within the allocated period. A hearing will be held for summary final judgment based on the lender’s motion.
