Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
Bond filed and approved
My stbx has foreclosed on his home and the lawyer handling the case against him filed a bond for $25,000. It states on the website that it was filed by the lawyer handling the case for the mortgage company and approved by the circuit court.
What does this mean and what is the bond for?

Re: Bond filed and approved
The bond is required in a foreclosure proceeding to indemnify the parties for costs if it turns out the foreclosure was improper. Once the foreclosure is completed, the bond is cancelled.
