Overview

Facing foreclosure? Know your options!

Foreclosures climbed a record 81% in 2008, with over 860,000 families losing their homes. In 2009, an additional 3 million foreclosures are predicted as temporary postponements end and homeowners are increasingly incapable of paying the mortgage during this brutal recession.

If you're having trouble making your mortgage payments or are already in jeopardy of foreclosure, The Foreclosure Survival Guide compassionately gives you the practical information you need, step by step.

An essential tool for anyone at risk of foreclosure, The Foreclosure Survival Guide provides key information about:

  • evaluating factors and risks when determining whether to stay in your home
  • staying in your home payment-free while saving money
  • using Chapter 7 bankruptcy to buy time while considering a workout or other options
  • using Chapter 13 bankruptcy to save your home
  • avoiding "foreclosure rescue" scams and using free government resources
  • utilizing "last resort" strategies if all else should fail

The Foreclosure Survival Guide gathers all the information Attorney Stephen R. Elias has used to help hundreds of clients over 30 years of practicing law and shows you how to deal with foreclosure in your state.

The 3rd edition of the nation's bestselling book on foreclosure is updated with the latest information on federal legislation to help struggling homeowners and bank-implemented foreclosure-delay programs. Thorough and easy to understand, The Foreclosure Survival Guide can help you stay in your home or walk away with money in your pocket.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal

Bankruptcy attorney Elias targets the estimated two million American homeowners who are currently in default on their mortgages. Elias explains how foreclosure works, what options there may be for keeping a home when in default, and what to do when that is not possible. He includes instruction on negotiating a workout with a lender as well as chapters on how to use bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure. Elias's section on fighting foreclosure in the courts helps readers understand the circumstances in which they may be able to delay or stop a foreclosure action. The appendixes provide summaries of each state's foreclosure laws, a glossary, and information on finding and working with lawyers and bankruptcy petition preparers. Straightforward and timely, this is recommended for most public libraries.
—Joan Pedzich

    My first experience with NOLO Books was very good.

    This book is easy to understand and to the point. It addresses the different options available to Homeowners who are in financial distress and are at risk of foreclosure. The book discusses different tactics that are being used by individuals to handle foreclosure, and expected outcomes. The examples are from current situations and address each state's law regarding actions and timelines for foreclosure. It also discusses what bankruptcy options are available and explains in very simple, easy-to-understand terms. I particularly liked the advice on how to use the system to your greatest advantage.
