You work hard for your family. You try to do everything right to provide a comfortable home and lifestyle. But all it takes is one major unexpected expense or financial misstep, and you face a mounting pile of debt and the possibility of foreclosure. It is every homeowner’s worst nightmare: the summons and complaint sent certified mail, taped to your door or personally delivered to you by a process server. Although receiving a summons and complaint in a foreclosure case can be a stressful experience, in the state of New York you still have many options open to you.

If you have experienced a change in circumstances, such as a decrease of income, an increase of expenses, loss of a borrower, illness of a dependent family member, or expansion of your household size, and find you are unable to pay their monthly primary mortgage obligation, contact an experienced attorney. At this point, you will have the most options available, and the least difficulty finding a reasonable option with the mortgaging bank.

Since the financial crisis of 2007 began, the Ugell Law Firm, P.C., in New City has been helping homeowners throughout the Lower Hudson Valley and Metropolitan New York areas avoid losing their homes and property to foreclosure. If you are facing a debt problem that is putting your home in jeopardy, it is time we sit down together to discuss your options to stop foreclosure. Often, just knowing how the process works can put your mind at ease. We can show you the various options you have to protect your rights as a debtor, such as:

• Personal bankruptcy
• Short sale
• Deed in lieu of foreclosure
• Mortgage loan modification

Your Rights Are Protected Under New York Foreclosure Protection Laws

Our firm will help you feel more confident about keeping your family in your home when we explain how lawmakers have put power and rights in your hands. Here are some important things to know:

• If you are facing foreclosure, New York is one of the best states to fight it in.
• Your mortgage bank must put you on notice of default, in writing, if you default on one or more of your monthly mortgage payments.
• The bank also must send you written notice that you are in danger of losing your home, and provide you with information on homeowners’ assistance prior to bringing any action through a state Supreme Court.
