After you are late for 3 months they have the right to for-close. Good luck! Answering in generalities only... Most areas no longer actually use mrtgages for home financing..they use something called a note and Deed of Trust, although the old terms stick just for convenience...(and so many peoples inability to deal with seemingly simple legal and financial things). One reason the DOT was gone to is because it takes half the time to foreclose. A mortgage had at least a 1 year period from the time the payment wasn't made until the title could beome the banks, presuming they did everything as quick as possible. Requirements like a period of redemption and time to get the title itself transferred delayed things with a mortgage. With a DOT, there is actually a 3rd party holding the deed, invisibly normally, who when presented with the proof according to the loan agreement, can take the deed and give it to the lender. not a whole lot of court process needed. The minimum time to effect the foreclosure I know of, even in these circumstances, is 6 months from default of payment. In reality, the normal time period is 6 months of defaulted payments and 6 months of process to get ownership, then how long to get the Sherrif to move the people out of the house, if needed, can certainly take several more months. Foreclosure time frames are determined by the state. In Georgia, foreclosures can happen within 37 days of the first delinquency. In North Carolina mortgage companies have to wait about 120 days before initiating a foreclosure.

Yes, if you are not making payments on your home, the bank can foreclose. Even if you are paying something, if you are not paying the amount agreed to in the loan modification or original contract, the bank can foreclose.
