Foreclosures and Bankruptcy - Protecting Your Home

Losing a home to foreclosure can be a stressful occurrence.  When a person can no longer make payments on the home for whatever reason the result is a bank foreclosure.  The bank can then take and sell the home unless the homeowner takes some action to stop the foreclosure. 

The first question people normally ask is "what should I do if I'm facing foreclosure?"  If refinancing is not an option and the payments cannot be brought up to date the homeowner should consider a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.  Chapter 13 can save the home from foreclosure by consolidating the arrears into a manageable Chapter 13 plan payment.  The Chapter 13 plan can last from three to five years depending on a person's individual circumstances.

Through bankruptcy a homeowner is able to eliminate other debt that can help them afford their mortgage again.  A homeowner may have had a job loss and temporarily could not make payments.  Bankruptcy can help that homeowner get back on track with their finances and save their home from being sold.
  
A qualified bankruptcy attorney is needed to evaluate the situation and determine if proceeding with bankruptcy will be beneficial to the homeowner.  If you are asking what should I do in a home foreclosure?  You may want to contact a bankruptcy attorney to discuss the options.
