In today’s economy, foreclosures seem to happen every day. By fully understanding the process, you can better understand your situation and help you make the most effective decision possible. If you are facing foreclosure in Nebraska, it is important that you understand a few basics:

Nebraska has a non-judicial process under power of sale and deed of trust.

The foreclosing party or the bank must file a notice of default at least one month before receiving the notice of sale and send you a copy within 10 days. After the thirty days expire, the notice of sale is posted once a week for 5 consecutive weeks. The notice of sale must be sent to the borrower twenty days before the sale.

You can repay it by paying the amount owed to the lender within one month after the redecoration of the notice of default.

Deficiency judgments can be obtained by filing a separate lawsuit within 90 days of the foreclosure sale.

Now that you’ve read the basics, here are some reasons why homeowners may be facing foreclosure: divorce, death of a family member, inheritance, job relocation, job loss. There may be many other reasons, but these are the main ones.

Nebraska foreclosure begins when homeowners are unable to make mortgage payments. The bank then sends a notice that the foreclosure process has begun. After the bank begins the process, typically taking about 60 days, the lender repossesses the home and sells it for the balance owed on the property.

There are ways homeowners can avoid foreclosure, but homeowners can’t always stay away. Once the process has begun, even though it may seem impossible to stop, there are several ways that homeowners can stop foreclosure. You can go to the lender and ask for a loan modification. This is simply asking the lender if you can pay less money for a shorter period of time. It is negotiable depending on the lender and the circumstances. You can also pay the balance due within the time frame of the foreclosure sale before the home is repossessed and sold. You can also pay off the entire loan balance before the home is sold.

There are many reasons why homeowners may not want a foreclosure, but the main reason is loss of the home and credit damage. Although it seems stressful and impossible, it can be overcome.
