Foreclosure Defense (Mortgagees / Associations)

Despite their best efforts and intentions, a homeowner may fall behind in making their mortgage payments in Florida–maybe they lost their job or are facing a major illness. When this happens, their mortgage lender or a homeowner's association (condo or HOA) may take steps to foreclose on the property and sell it to regain the money they are owed.
