Foreclosure is the legal and professional proceeding in which a mortgagee, or other lien holder, usually a lender, obtains a court ordered termination of a mortgagor's equitable right of redemption. Usually a lender obtains a security interest from a borrower who mortgages or pledges an asset like a house to secure the loan. If the borrower defaults and the lender tries to repossess the property, courts of equity can grant the borrower the equitable right of redemption if the borrower repays the debt. While this equitable right exists, the lender cannot be sure that it can successfully repossess the property, thus the lender seeks to foreclose the equitable right of redemption. Other lien holders can also foreclose the owner's right of redemption for other debts, such as for overdue taxes, unpaid contractors' bills or overdue homeowners' association dues or assessments.

The foreclosure process as applied to residential mortgage loans is a bank or other secured creditor selling or repossessing a parcel of real property (immovable property) after the owner has failed to comply with an agreement between the lender and borrower called a "mortgage" or "deed of trust". Commonly, the violation of the mortgage is a default in payment of a promissory note, secured by a lien on the property. When the process is complete, the lender can sell the property and keep the proceeds to pay off its mortgage and any legal costs, and it is typically said that "the lender has foreclosed its mortgage or lien". If the promissory note was made with a recourse clause then if the sale does not bring enough to pay the existing balance of principal and fees the mortgagee can file a claim for a deficiency judgment.

Foreclosures: How many people do you know?
Q. I am curious with all of the stories in the news about real estate foreclosures, how many people are actually being foreclosed on. Do you know of anyone who is suffering foreclosure? How many people? If not foreclosure, what are the other mechanisms they are using to avoid it?

A. Well, well! You've asked the right question on the right day. I live in Ohio and we're flip-flopping with Michigan and Florida on any given day for who's #1 in foreclosure rates. I used to work at a non-profit that speciallized in promoting homeownership. There was a great need to begin counseling those who were in danger of losing their homes, so we started doing that. I do know of many cases (but I don't know them personally). Any-who. At our busiest, I'd say we counseled about 50 new people in a 1 month period. The flow was not always THAT high, but it was steady...and we were not the only foreclosure counselors in the city, so many were being serviced at other places. My organization was able to give gap loans to qualifying clients.… [cont.]
