Re: keeping my home

How long you have depends on what stage you are in with the foreclosure (ie has the foreclosure process started yet? Has the sale happened?). Unless you agree to do a deed in lieu of foreclosure with the lender (in which case you'd probably agree on a move out date at that time), you have until the redemption period runs after the sheriff's sale which is typically about 6 months. Hope this helps, but hard to give you a definitive answer without knowing if the sale has happened yet.
