Foreclosure in New York is a judicial process that unfolds over time. Reaching out early — before you miss payments or right after receiving a notice — gives you the widest range of options for keeping your home. This is especially important for Franklin County homeowners who may be facing the seasonal realities of the North Country and Adirondack economy, the Canadian-border communities, and the long distances between towns across this large county.
Call (213) 536-9372New York is a judicial foreclosure state. This means foreclosure generally proceeds through the court system, and homeowners have important procedural rights along the way. Here's the educational framework we help Franklin County homeowners understand.
New York law requires a pre-foreclosure notice to be sent to homeowners before a foreclosure action may generally begin on a home loan. This notice period is designed to give homeowners time to pursue options.
The lender files a complaint and a notice of pendency. The homeowner is served with a summons and complaint and must respond within the deadline to protect their rights.
In most home-loan foreclosure cases, a mandatory settlement conference is scheduled to explore loss mitigation, loan modification, and alternatives before the case advances.
If no resolution is reached, the court may enter a judgment of foreclosure and sale. The property is then auctioned through a court-supervised process.
