If the Court finds in favor of the lender, it can result in the forced sale of the property to repay the outstanding mortgage debt.
Foreclosure proceedings begin with a complaint filed by the lender. The borrower is served a copy of the complaint and a summons, along with a notice of his or her rights during foreclosure.
