Why Are You Facing Foreclosure?
Foreclosure can happen to anyone, regardless of financial background or previous credit history. Job loss, medical emergencies, divorce, death of a spouse or unexpected major expenses can quickly put homeowners behind on mortgage payments. Economic downturns and adjustable-rate mortgages that reset to higher payments have also contributed to foreclosure situations for many Wisconsin families.
What Can You Expect During The Foreclosure Process?
Wisconsin follows a judicial foreclosure process, meaning lenders must file a lawsuit in court to foreclose on your property. This process typically takes several months and provides multiple opportunities for homeowners to respond and seek alternatives. The process begins with missed payments, followed by a notice of default, the filing of a foreclosure lawsuit, court proceedings and ultimately a sheriff’s sale if no resolution is reached.
Working with a foreclosure attorney gives you the best chance of understanding your rights and exploring all available options throughout this process.
How Can You Prevent Foreclosure?
Several alternatives may help you stop foreclosure and keep your home or minimize the financial impact of losing it.
- Loan modifications: Negotiating new payment terms, interest rates or loan duration with your lender
- Short sales: Selling your home for less than the mortgage balance with lender approval
- Deed in lieu of foreclosure: Voluntarily transferring ownership to the lender to avoid foreclosure proceedings
- Bankruptcy protection: Using Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy to stop foreclosure and reorganize debts
These alternatives can prevent foreclosure and provide more favorable outcomes than allowing the process to continue to completion.
