www.KahaneLaw.com Foreclosures are scary. When the bank is trying to take your house away you may not know what to do. Obviously our first advice is to always make your mortgage payments but sometimes life does not let you. There are several things that may be done so that you can stay in your home longer. Depending on how much equity you have in your property (the net worth after the mortgage) you may be able to get an extra six months or more. Sometimes you can even negotiate a new payment schedule, even if you cannot pay back the whole amount right away. Make sure you speak to a lawyer if you are in this situation.
