Foreclosure Process: What to Know
The foreclosure and eviction processes are complicated, to say the least. I want to ensure that you understand the basics of these procedures. After all, knowledge is power, and you can more easily fight for your rights when you know what they are. Below, you’ll find a few fundamentals of the foreclosure process:
In the state of Texas, most lenders are required to send a right to cure default notice sometimes referred to as breach letter. This document is written to inform the borrowers that their loan is in default and that foreclosure is the next step. These letters must include a date by which the borrower must remedy (pay) the default.
If the specified date passes without the default being cured, the lender must send the borrower a notice of foreclosure sale. This document will inform the borrower of the date, time, and location of the foreclosure sale. You should contact me immediately if you have not already done so in order to have time to seek a restraining order if you are eligible for one.
Once the property has been sold, the eviction process can begin. The new owner typically sends the borrower a three-day notice, within which they must vacate the property. If you find yourself in this stage of the post-foreclosure process, be sure to have a seasoned real estate attorney like me on your side. You should contact me immediately if you have been served with an eviction as there are strict and fast deadlines that apply.
