5. Can I remain in my home during the foreclosure?

Generally speaking, it is not until the very end of the foreclosure process that a homeowner may lose possession of their home.

Depending on where you are in the foreclosure process will determine how close you are to losing possession of your home. Contact us today to find out more about your legal rights.
