Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Just got served foreclosure papers.
I was just served with forclosure papers and I don't know what to do. We just bought our home 6 months ago and aren't even that far behind. I have three young children. What can/should I do?

The easy answer is to retain an attorney.
However, there are new laws in place concerning foreclosure. There are also agencies that will give advice for no cost. I would contact the Ulster County Bar Association for help and a referral.

Do NOT ignore the paperwork. Contact an attorney if you can. You should also call The HOPE NOW alliance and the Homeowners HOPE Hotline at 1-888-995-HOPE.
You should also contact your lender, but ask your attorney first.
Finally, you may want to contact a local Real Estate Broker. It may not be too late to sell the home and avoid foreclosure.
