Different Ways Of Foreclosure Defense

After the recession and liquidity crunch of 2007, the incidence of foreclosure has increased.
It has become more prominent following the US subprime mortgage crisis.
Home is definitely the most prized possession of a person's life.
A person doesn't want to lose it at any cost.
However, there may be certain conditions which force a person to fall behind on payments.
The defaults in payments ultimately lead to home foreclosures.
For availing any foreclosure defense, a person should consult with an experienced lawyer.
A person may face hardship to make mortgage payments due to the causes as follows:

• A family member's demise
• Expenses related to emergency home renovation etc.
  
• Sudden unemployment
• Medical emergency
• Inability to adapt to new adjustable rate mortgage
• Divorce

If a person anticipates that he is on the verge of foreclosure, he should get legal advice from an experienced lawyer.
Some ways of foreclosure defense as suggested by the lawyers may be-

• Modification of the current mortgage: In most cases, the lender agrees to restructure certain terms and conditions of the current mortgage.
  Some favorable changes brought about mainly include extending the term of the loan, reducing the rate of interest, cutting down payments related to the principal amount, and so on.
  However, these changes are temporary in nature.
  
• Short refinance: A borrower may also get the property refinanced instead of opting for foreclosure.
  
• Repayment plan: A borrower can opt for a repayment plan.
  However, in that case he needs to pay part of the arrearage.
  The remaining amount has to be paid together with the regular payments, which is generally in a couple of month's time.
  
• Short sale: If a borrower opts for a short sale, the property will be sold to a third party.
  If the creditor agrees as per negotiation, the payment received will be taken as full settlement payment by the debtor.
  
• Repurchase following a foreclosure: If the borrower has to foreclose his property due to some temporary financial problems, he will again get the chance to buy back his property after an auction.
