Other than a serious illness there is probably nothing more stressful than the threat of losing your home! You need experienced legal counsel to fight for your rights and guide you.
Every case is different, and Todd Frankenthal will explore foreclosure alternatives with you. These include:
- Forbearance
- Reinstatement
- Mortgage Modification
- Bankruptcy
- Refinancing
- Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
- “Friendly” Foreclosure
- Short sale
In Florida a lender must file a mortgage foreclosure lawsuit to take your home.
Todd has the knowledge and experience to defend you, and will file all defenses that are applicable to your case. For instance, a lender cannot foreclose a mortgage in Florida unless it certifies to the court that it is in possession of the original promissory note, and discloses the location of the promissory note. Your lender may have waived the right to accelerate and foreclose your mortgage by accepting late payments or otherwise waiving its rights under the loan documents. We will also evaluate whether you may have claims and defenses under statutes such as the Truth In Lending Act, and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act.
Take Action
When threatened with foreclosure, the worst thing that you can do is nothing, because you will lose your home. In fact, once the foreclosure sale is conducted not even bankruptcy can help you.
