I assume you mean you are being foreclosed on. If they obtain a deficiency judgment they can try to levy on your real property in Florida by domesticating the NC judgment. However, Homestead Property is exempt in Florida. Merely changing title will create additional problems as your mortgage holder can then foreclose. In addition your attempt can be viewed as a fraudulent transfer to avoid a judgment and set aside.
