Foreclosure Defense Lawyer in Jacksonville, FL 

How Does Foreclosure Work in Florida? 

In Florida, foreclosure is a legal process where a lender takes possession of property from the borrower and sells it to cover an unpaid debt. 

  1. The process begins when the borrower defaults on the loan by missing multiple payments, and then the lender files for foreclosure with the court.
  2.  The court will set a date for a hearing in which both parties must appear before presenting evidence on their respective positions. 
  3. After reviewing all evidence, the court can order either reinstatement of payments or sale of property to satisfy any outstanding debts owed by the borrower. 
  4. If sale is ordered, then it must be done through public auction where any interested party may make an offer to purchase. 
  5. Finally, if no offers are made at auction or no one meets minimum bid requirement, then defaulting borrower may have right to reclaim ownership after settling remaining balance.

Do I need a foreclosure attorney?

Foreclosure can be a complicated process, and having the help of an experienced foreclosure attorney can ensure that your rights are protected and that you take the correct steps to make sure your financial future is secure. 

An attorney can: 

  • Explain the foreclosure process step-by-step
  • Help you understand your options

Additionally, a foreclosure attorney will know how to navigate the local courts and laws in your area, which can make a big difference in the success of your case.

    “A great experience with a very sharp man who really knew all the in’s and out’s of Florida foreclosure surplus law and saved us thousands!”
    On the afternoon that my deceased uncles home was foreclosed and auctioned I received phone calls from people who knew about the mortgage surplus before I did. Calls were from all over the US. Fast talking people telling me I needed to pay them to claim the funds and all the undesirable things that would happen if I did not hire them. After two weeks of trying to go it alone with the courts I found Mr. Haynes. On the first call he was able to weed through and understand the complications of our situation. He told me he was confident he could claim the funds for the heirs. Today we got the news we would receive a check. A great experience with a very sharp man who really knew all the in’s and out’s of Florida foreclosure surplus law and saved us thousands!
