The default final judgment is obtained by delivering to the Court a Motion for Default Final judgment-Residential Eviction (Form 78) and/or a Motion for Default Final judgment - Damages (Residential Eviction) (Form 79) with an Affidavit of Damages (Form 80).
In Florida, lenders may foreclose on a mortgage in default by using the judicial foreclosure process. This is commenced by filing a lawsuit in the Circuit Court in the county where the property being foreclosed is located.
Final judgments issued in Florida are the culmination of a lawsuit. They can come at the end of the process from a trial or beforehand through certain procedural mechanisms like default or summary judgment or from an unperformed settlement agreement.
Depending on the court schedule and load, it normally takes from 180 to 200 days to complete the foreclosure process in Florida. If contested by the borrower or if the borrower files for bankruptcy, this process may be delayed further.
A deficiency judgment allows a mortgage lender to recover the difference between the outstanding balance of a mortgage note and the proceeds of a property foreclosure sale. In Florida, a deficiency judgment can also include costs and attorney's fees.
Under Florida law, the court clerk must promptly file a certificate of sale after the foreclosure sale, which usually happens within a day of the sale. You then have ten days after the filing of the certificate of sale to file an objection to the sale.
In a Florida foreclosure action, a motion for summary judgment is typically filed by the lender, asking the judge to decide the case in favor of the lender immediately. This would provide the bank to take control of the property without a lengthy trial.
