How Does a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Work in Florida?
A deed in lieu of foreclosure in Florida is when a homeowner transfers ownership of their property voluntarily to the lender to satisfy the mortgage debt.
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.

Haynes Law Group did an excellent job handling our case. The Bank had received a judgment and sold our property at auction! We quickly hired Mr. Haynes in order for him to try and save our property, even after the foreclosure sale. Mr. Haynes fought the Bank and got the Judge to vacate our sale! I would recommend hiring this firm. The communication and knowledge are second to none.R.W.

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!E.M.

Mr. Haynes referred me to talk to Mr. Daniel De Paz who handled my case. During my entire case my attorney was upfront, frank and very professional with all his decisions. He never hesitate to talk to me every time I called him and he always returned all my calls very promptly. He was very easy to talk to and explained my case in a very simple and easy way that I could understand. I was very surprised as to how quickly he solved my case. I hope I never need an attorney again but if someone needs any kind of legal representation, I would without a doubt, strongly recommend this law office and Attorney Mr. Daniel De Paz to handle your case.T.B.
