Re: deed in lieu

I suggest you consider a deed in lieu of foreclosure if there is no equity in the property. However, if there is equity you might consider a sale to a third party. I strongly recommend that you seek legal counsel. Any action should be covered in an agreement that will not impose future liability if there is insufficient equity. Bankruptcy is an option if you can affort to keep the property. You circumstances must be reviewed in detailed before an appropriate course of action is taken. Move immediately to get legal counsel.
