There are 2 common legal options that can prevent a foreclosure. These options include either filing a lawsuit [foreclosure litigation], or filing a bankruptcy. The best legal strategy to stop a foreclosure depends on your personal situation and is best carried out by a successful foreclosure attorney with a strong track record of stopping foreclosure and saving homes.

A homeowner can sue their lender if they illegally issue a notice of trustee sale or initiate a foreclosure sale in violation of the California foreclosure laws. In many cases, lenders do not comply with the California laws that protect a homeowner from an illegal foreclosure. An experienced foreclosure lawyer can immediately determine if the lender has violated the law and if it is possible to file a lawsuit to stop foreclosure proceedings.

Bankruptcy is also a very effective legal strategy for stopping a foreclosure proceeding immediately. An experienced foreclosure attorney can file the case to stop a sale the same day. In many instances, bankruptcy allows individuals to restructure debts, get debt relief, stop foreclosure sales, and keep the home.

A loan modification is a negotiated agreement to change the monthly payment you make, the length of the loan, and the interest rates the loan charges. This type of negotiation does not require a foreclosure lawyer. When it is impossible to continue making payments on a property, a short sale is another way to avoid foreclosure. The lender must agree to sell the property for the current value. This usually results in avoiding a claim from the lender later, and may result in making money from the sale depending on whether there is equity in the property.

A deed in lieu of foreclosure can also prevent a foreclosure and possibly keep a foreclosure from affecting long term credit rating and a borrower’s ability to buy another home.
