Foreclosure 5%

When a borrower and a lender enter into a contract that enables the borrower to obtain money for financing an asset such as a house, the lender is protected by the terms of the loan if the borrower defaults on payments or misses scheduled payments. Foreclosure is the court action mortgage holders use to recover the title to property when the borrower defaults on payments. Our foreclosure law firm can help you understand foreclosure laws and protection in Florida and West Palm Beach.
