Is a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure in Your Best Interests?
In most case, the lender will lose out financially by accepting a deed in lieu of foreclosure. For this reason, the homeowner must present compelling evidence that the action is in the lender's best interests. It is often necessary to demonstrate significant financial hardship, and show that all other options have been exhausted.
Also, a mortgage lender will be very unlikely to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure if there are subordinate liens on the property. Before accepting the transaction, they will conduct a title search to determine if there are second mortgages or junior liens. If the lender accepts the offer, it is important to have an experienced attorney to handle all of the paperwork and legal steps.
