A deed in lieu of foreclosure is a legal process where a borrower voluntarily transfers the title of their property to the lender to satisfy a debt and avoid foreclosure proceedings. This arrangement allows the borrower to relinquish ownership without going through the lengthy and often costly foreclosure process. In exchange, the lender typically agrees to forgive the remaining mortgage debt, though the specific terms can vary. This option can help protect the borrower's credit score compared to a formal foreclosure.
