FAQ
Some servicers will extend forbearance for as long as 12 months, or in some cases, even longer. You'll need to speak to the servicer to get approval for a second or extended forbearance period.
A Forbearance Agreement can be a versatile tool after a default has occurred. In a Forbearance Agreement, the Lender specifically preserves the Borrower's default, but agrees to forbear on collection for a specified period in exchange for certain accommodations from the Borrower.
Some servicers will extend forbearance for as long as 12 months, or in some cases, even longer. You'll need to speak to the servicer to get approval for a second or extended forbearance period.
For example, forbearance can be helpful if your home was damaged in a natural disaster, you had unexpected medical costs, or you lost your job. Forbearance does not erase or decrease the amount you owe on your mortgage. You have to repay any missed or reduced payments.
When it ends, you'll be expected to resume your regular mortgage payments and to make up any payments that were forgiven during the relief period—conditions that should be spelled out clearly in a forbearance agreement. If you are unclear on these terms, ask your mortgage servicer for guidance.
Sidway (NY Ct. App, 1891): Uncle promises nephew $5K if he doesn't sin until he's 21. Nephew follows through. Yes K; forbearance counts as consideration.
It is well settled that forbearance or an agreement to forbear prosecu- tion or institution of legal or equitable proceedings to enforce a legal or equitable demand, either absolutely or for a certain time or for a reasonable time is sufficient consideration.
Less usual forms of consideration include promising to give up a legal right, called forbearance (“I promise to give up drinking until I am 25”), and the creation or change in a legal relationship.
The basic elements required for the agreement to be a legally enforceable contract are: mutual assent, expressed by a valid offer and acceptance; adequate consideration; capacity; and legality. In some states, elements of consideration can be satisfied by a valid substitute.
