Queens Deed in Lieu Attorney

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure

"In Lieu" simply means "instead of or in place of". A deed in lieu of foreclosure is where a homeowner signs over ownership of their home back to their lender, followed by a sale of the home by the lender. The advantage of this strategy of foreclosure defense is that it allows the borrower to quickly get out from under debt he has for the mortgage he can no longer make payments on. It still has a negative impact on the borrower's credit, but it is less damaging to a borrower's credit than a foreclosure or bankruptcy. As with a short sale, the lender almost always agrees to forgive the balance on the loan.

A deed in lieu is requested by the borrower to the lender in writing. An agreement is then made and signed by both the lender and the borrower. In the agreement, the lender agrees to not foreclose on the property, and will also forgive any deficiency on the loan. The deed then turns ownership of the home over to the lender. Your debt to the lender is then forgiven. The borrower receives paperwork stating so, and that the lender waives their right to request the remainder of the balance on the debt if the sale price is less than the balance on the loan when the property is sold. The deed in lieu process can be complicated; therefore a n attentive and experienced Queens bankruptcy attorney should be contacted to help walk you through the process.
