If the bank is about to foreclose on your property, you may be able to make a deal with them. Instead, of have them having to hire a lawyer and pay him several hundred dollars an hour and go to court and pay court costs and have the sheriff sell your property on the court house steps, you will simply sign a quit claim deed. You will sell the bank your property for $10. You will not have a foreclosure on your record. The bank will not have to pay a lawyer and court costs. You will have a tremendous loss on your property and not give the bank a gift so the IRS can not claim you gave the bank a valuable piece of property. You move out without having the cops throw your property out on the street. You do not have any record of having a foreclosure on your credit record. There is no indication on any credit record that you are a deadbeat and did not pay your bills.

How do you proceed with a deed in lieu of foreclosure and what are the advantages?
One advantage is that the foreclosure process will end sooner. Once the bank accepts the deed in lieu of foreclosure, all of the legal procedures come to a end immediately. The bank accepts the deed as payment in full for the loan, and the homeowners are no longer in default of the mortgage. Another benefit is the homeowners will not have as badly damaged credit as if they had gone through the full foreclosure. With the foreclosure process ending sooner, there are fewer missed mortgage payments. The bank typically reports late payments up until the month of the county foreclosure auction, which can result in many missed payments. With a deed in lieu of foreclosure, some of these can be avoided, as the foreclosure process is terminated early. This, in turn, allows homeowners to begin recovering financially more quickly than if they had let the home go through with the entire foreclosure process. They can begin working on credit repair sooner rather than later.
