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.

    “We would trust Haynes and De Paz to represent us again!”
    Haynes Law Group represented our foreclosure case for over a year. It was really nice to have a lawyer that constantly communicated with us, and made us feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. They were able to get us a very favorable decision, and we would trust Haynes to represent us again in any legal situation.

    “If you are in need of foreclosure defense, look no further.”
    If you are in need of foreclosure defense, look no further. Ben was on top of everything and his communication between myself and the bank was stellar. He discussed strategies with me and counseled me towards the possible outcomes of each strategy. Before I hired Ben to represent me, I was lost, confused, and a little bit scared of the banks. Now, I've got a lawyer for life and peace of mind to go along with it.

    “I was very happy with the service provided!”
    I was very happy with the service provided. The staff was patient and understanding and were always available to answer my questions. I was most impressed with Attorney Haynes taking time on his Saturday to personally call me regarding an upcoming deadline in my foreclosure case. Mr. Haynes was able to get my mortgage loan modified to an affordable monthly payment so that I can keep my home and my foreclosure case was dismissed!

    “I highly recommend Mr. Haynes to assist in your surplus funds case... my review is just one of the many that can vouch for his remarkable professionalism and services. You honestly won't regret it.”
    We contacted Haynes & De Paz as we quickly realized we required assistance obtaining surplus funds from a foreclosure sale. Being from Canada and having an extra messy case with numerous parties involved - the process was extra confusing and we did not know the best way to go about this. We initially thought it would be a simple procedure in that once the sale occurred and once there was confirmation that there were in fact surplus funds - we'd fill out a basic template form to obtain those funds. We couldn't have been more wrong but this is a common misconception. After an attempt to contact the court with no response, we quickly realized we needed the help from an expert. We located Mr. Benjamin Haynes at Haynes & De Paz but had concerns being that he was located in a different county in FL than the court was in... Mr. Haynes didn't even bat an eye. I filled out a form online requesting information and within minutes he called me personally. The entire procedure including the Motion took less than two weeks and I can't believe how efficient he was. He and his assistant, Ashlee are remarkable at communicating with you and updating you every step of the way. The legal fees are reasonable and well worth it. This turned a nightmare into a dream. I highly recommend Mr. Haynes to assist in your surplus funds case... my review is just one of the many that can vouch for his remarkable professionalism and services. You honestly won't regret it.
