Falling behind on your house payments can be a very scary thing, especially if you don’t know what to expect during the bank foreclosure process. The details may differ from state to state, but the basic process is the same pretty much everywhere. Here is a brief overview of the basic steps that the foreclosure process takes.
The foreclosure process usually starts with the homeowner being served with a foreclosure notice. Depending on where you live, the notice can be sent in the mail, published in the newspaper or tacked to the door of the house. The amount of time that passes between when you fall behind on your payments to when you are served with the foreclosure notice mostly depends on your lender. However, in some states the mortgage must be in arrears for a certain amount of time before the lender starts the process.
Once you receive the foreclosure notice, it is usually very difficult to work out payment arrangements with the lender. However, it may still be possible. At this point, they usually want the loan paid off in full in order to stop the foreclosure. There is usually a waiting period after the foreclosure notice is served to allow the borrower a chance to pay off the debt before the house is sold. The waiting period varies from one state to another but it is usually just a few weeks so don’t waste time if you want to try to save your home.
The next step in the bank foreclosure process is the sale of the home. This is usually done by auction, either at the courthouse or in front of the home. The bank usually sets a minimum bid equal to the amount that was owed, plus legal costs that have been incurred up to that point. The winner of the auction (or the bank, if no one bids) assumes ownership of the home following the redemption period, if there is one.
In many states, homeowners are given a chance to redeem their properties following the sale. The redemption period is often a few months, during which time the borrower can reclaim ownership of the home if they repay the full amount owed, plus legal costs and any costs incurred by the lender in preparing for the auction. This is the last step in the bank foreclosure process and the homeowner’s last chance to save the home from foreclosure.
Bank foreclosure will first give the customer several months to remove their mortgage. When it cannot be done, the customer loses their asset and it is auctioned off.
Yes, that process will be completed by the foreclosure proceedings. The bank is foreclosing (or recovering its interest in the loan) on the mortgage which is "guaranteed" by the property, to put it in simple terms. The foreclosure process will only allow the mortgage holder to recover the amout of its loan and associated fees, etc.
You can first get in writing from the bank that they are agreeable to stop the foreclosing process. Once you are armed with this information you can present it to the process servers who are trying to begin the foreclosure proedure.

judicial foreclosure process
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.

There is a process to appeal a bank foreclosure. Each bank is different and it can be a cumbersome undertaking. They will probably have you jump through many hoops. If you are looking to stall the foreclosure, it might be a good avenue for you to explore. Even if it buys you another week or two, that may be enough time to get your grandmothers' finances in order.
