A foreclosure will cause a significant decrease in your credit score. The entry will count against you once in the "trade lines", which is the part of your credit report that contain information about your accounts. It will show again in the public record portion, once the legal action of foreclosure is actually filed. The legal entry has its own statute of limitations which may extend beyond what the trade line will. The hit to your score for these double entries are calculated based on their reporting/filing date. History accounts for 35% of the score. So two significant hits in one 12 month time period would add up to a huge deduction. In addition to the computation on your credit score; lenders also look at the details of your credit as well. No mortgage lender is going to look favorably on a foreclosure, no matter what the details.

When do benafisaries get their share one a house is sold?

Beneficiaries typically receive their share of the proceeds from a house sale after the sale is finalized and the closing process is complete. This usually involves the settlement of any outstanding debts related to the property, such as mortgages or liens. Once these obligations are resolved, the remaining funds are distributed to the beneficiaries according to the terms of the will or trust. The timeline can vary, but it generally occurs shortly after the closing date.
