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
  • Review loan documents
  • Assist in negotiations with lenders

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. If you are facing foreclosure, it is important to speak with an experienced foreclosure attorney as soon as possible to ensure that your rights and financial interests are protected.

    “I would highly recommend Attorney Haynes if the need arises!”
    I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Attorney Benjamin Haynes of Haynes and de Paz, P.A. for the counsel and guidance provided by him and his firm during my recent real estate foreclosure activity. His recommended approaches provided me the time necessary to list and complete a “short sale” of my property. Real Estate Foreclosure activities are often convoluted and intimidating and engaging Attorney Haynes was an excellent decision on my part. His representation enabled me to concentrate on moving forward while he dealt with the intricacies’ of the myriad Foreclosure statutes. With his assistance I was able obtain much needed relief from the pending Foreclosure action. I would highly recommend Attorney Haynes if the need arises.
