Re: real estate

You may be better off stopping the foreclosure and then seeking more of the house.

You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further. Similar questions like this have been asked repeatedly.

You do not have any rights to place a lien unless the court gave you those rights in its order. More importantly, if a foreclosure has been filed, you may lose any equity that you have in the property if you do not take steps to resolve it.

You need to meet with a qualified real estate attorney immediately to review the facts of this matter and who can then advise you of your legal rights and obligations before the foreclosure proceeds any further.

You cannot file a lien but you can have a partition action filed to try and recover some equity. You should consult with a real estate attorney for help.
