Standing by You During the Deed in Lieu Process

As you might imagine, this process is complicated and having a dedicated foreclosure attorney to help can save you considerable time and relieve you of the anxiety of completing any part of it incorrectly. If you are in danger of having your home foreclosed upon, you need to reach out to our foreclosure defense attorneys as soon as you can to see if a deed in lieu is right for you.

What is a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure in Florida?

Typically, a deed in lieu of foreclosure is a transaction that is mutually consented to by you and your mortgage lender. Ideally, after you have complied with the lender's requirements and after they have had time to evaluate and deliberate your circumstances, they will agree to take back the piece of real estate instead of suing you or foreclosing to get the property title.

This will often fulfill the debt from the mortgage after the property is handed over, if not you may be liable for the deficiency. Although this might sound straightforward, the process can be significantly more complicated.

For example, the lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment against the homeowner or borrower. Additionally, the lender has the right to come after you for unpaid debt, unless otherwise stipulated in your Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure agreement.

Eligibility for Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

Qualifying for a deed in lieu of foreclosure agreement is not an easy process. Before the lender will even consider this option, you must meet specific criteria.

These criteria include the following:

  • You must have suffered the loss of your job, significant illness, divorce or another hardship.
  • The property in question must be your "homestead", not an abandoned or investment property.
  • You must have actively explored and exhausted all other options and financial resources available to you.
  • The property in question must have been on the market between 90 and 180 days.
  • The property must not have any other liens.
  • The property must be in good condition; you may have to provide inventory and a statement of condition.
