FORECLOSURE DEFENSE in Florida
Most attorneys and the public do not realize that a foreclosure can be defended in Florida. This does not mean the homeowner will prevail and not have to pay the delinquent payments. However, if a homeowners equity in their home is protected by such a defense and they are not subjected to a fast foreclosure, they may stand a better chance to economically survive.
If the lender has not received their monthly payments when due, the borrower has defaulted on the mortgage and note. That does not mean the borrow must leave the property immediately as is the case when a person fails to pay their rent.
A continuing default on a mortgage gives the lender a right to seek the judicial sale of the borrowers Florida residence by bringing a foreclosure action. In almost all instances the borrower is in the wrong not because they wanted to stop paying on the mortgage but simply because events in life resulted in a financial inability to pay on their mortgage. Although the borrower has defaulted and is in the “wrong” that does not mean the homeowner has to rollover and abandon their home or just stay there and wait for the inevitable.
