Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
Foreclosure
I have lost my job. I am in foreclosure but do not have a foreclosure sale date and I hope to be receiving unemployment benefits soon. Will I be able to save my home. I also have it up for a short sale but was told that it still would go through the foreclosure process.

Re: Foreclosure
Whether you can save yor home under current law will (absent an agreement from your lender) depend on whether you can make the regular monthly mortgage payment plus a payment at least sufficient to pay off the arrearage over 60 months. If the pending legislation passes, allowing judicial modifications of mortgages, it may make it much easier. See a bankruptcy lawyer now to go over your options.
