Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Maryland

Filing Bankruptcy

I want to file bankruptcy to help save my house from foreclosure but do not know if it is too late, or how long the process takes? I just got the letter from the attorney's office for my mortgage company after being three months behind.

Re: Filing Bankruptcy

The pre filing counseling can be completed via the internet, that is a minor delay. As for the foreclosure, you will have to file before the auction happens. This can be accomplished in a rather short time, but you must be proactive to have the filing done before the sale.

If you do not already have an attorney, it is best that you contact one asap to assit you through your legal issue.
