Legal Question in Securities Law in Colorado
Deed of Trust in lieu of foreclosure
I have been a mortgage underwriter 16 yrs. and just lost my job. Mortgage crises has all but eliminated mortgage positions. I have a house I can no longer afford and I live in a very small community with very limited employment opportunities. I am current on my mortgage payment but my savings run out end of October. It has been suggested I do a deed of trust in lieu of foreclosure with no recourse. Can I do this?

Afternoon,
Sorry to hear about the problems. You can certainly try to do a deed-in-lieu or a short sale to avoid foreclosure.
I would advise you to contact the Colorado foreclosure hotline to see about options and advice. Here is the site http://www.dola.state.co.us/cdh/foreclosure.htm. Talk to legal counsel about any documents. Good luck.
