Long Island, Nassau and Suffolk Foreclosure Defense Lawyers

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

A deed in lieu of foreclosure is a possible option for homeowners facing foreclosure proceedings. Generally defined, a deed in lieu of foreclosure occurs when you give your property back to the lender because you can no longer afford your mortgage and cannot get current again. The lender will then sell the property in order to recover part or all of the loan balance that you owed. With a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a homeowner is able to keep the negative effects of a foreclosure from his or her credit.
