Understanding Florida Foreclosure

Foreclosure is a legal process that authorizes a lender to reclaim the unpaid balance of a loan from a borrower who has stopped making payments by collecting and selling the property. The Florida foreclosure process is governed by certain laws and procedures.

If you're facing the prospect of losing your Fort Lauderdale home to foreclosure, you typically have a window of time to remain on the property after receiving notice. This period allows you to explore options to halt the foreclosure or to plan for your next steps before the property changes hands.

The Foreclosure Process in Florida

The foreclosure process typically unfolds as follows:

  1. Missed Payments: If a homeowner fails to make payments for 120 days, or around four months, the lender may commence foreclosure proceedings.
  2. Notice of Default: The lender sends the homeowner a Notice of Default, officially informing them of the missing payments and initiating the foreclosure process.
  3. Lis Pendens: A Lis Pendens is filed, indicating the lender's intent to foreclose and alerting others to the property's status.
  4. Foreclosure Lawsuit: The lender files a lawsuit, and the homeowner is served with a complaint and a summons to respond.
  5. Response and Defense: The homeowner should respond to the complaint, ideally with the help of a Fort Lauderdale foreclosure defense attorney.
  6. Court Proceedings: Both parties present their case in court, where the judge decides on the foreclosure's validity.
  7. Judgment and Sale: If the court rules for the lender, the property is sold at auction.
  8. Redemption Period: Florida law may allow a period for the homeowner to reclaim the property by paying the debt in full.
  9. Eviction: If the property is not redeemed, the new owner can evict the former homeowner.

    “Will definitely use again if ever need to!”
    After 3 plus years of dealing with a foreclosure surplus issue, in less than 24 hours of speaking to Benjamin Haynes for the first time, court hearing was next day, it was finally over and resolved and with positive results. I wish I would have know about them before ! Will definitely use again if ever need to.

    “A few details and after learning about his firm I signed an engagement letter!”
    I spoke with a couple of my attorney clients about how to obtain surplus funds for a family member and they were unfamiliar with the process so I googled attorneys who specialize in obtaining surplus funds. Ben’s name was the first to pop up. I sent an email with a few details and after learning about his firm I signed an engagement letter. Within a couple of months we received a check.

    “Their timely responses and caring attitude made going through a difficult time that much easier!”
    I am very pleased with the level of service I received from Ben and Ashlee at Haynes Law Group. From the moment I walked into the office Ashlee was very warm and accommodating -- even though I returned the favor by spilling a bit of water on the floor. They promptly cleaned it up and we continued with the consultation. I am very observant and pay attention to the little things. I did not notice a hint of irritation or annoyance over the accidental spill. Their timely responses and caring attitude made going through a difficult time that much easier. There was even an instance where I sent an email to the office after "normal" business hours -- expecting a response first thing in the morning. To my surprise and within minutes, the response to my email was waiting in my inbox. I just wanted to thank Ben and Ashlee for being so gracious and supportive and I would absolutely recommend Haynes Law Group to friends and family.

    “Haynes & de Paz saved our family home!”
    We had given up hope of saving our home from foreclosure when a friend recommended the law firm of Haynes & DePaz. What a blessing. With personal help and encouragement, Mr. Haynes and his staff guided us through the case. They were quick to respond to email messages and phone calls. And best of all - Success! We now have a mortgage we can live within the home where our children were born and grew up. Exactly where we want to be! Haynes & de Paz saved our family home and we are forever grateful!
