What Is a Foreclosure Judgment? A foreclosure judgment is issued by a court. It formally grants the lender permission to foreclose on a property. A court will issue a foreclosure judgment after the lender wins its foreclosure lawsuit against the borrower.
It takes at least 6 to 8 months for a fore- closure lawsuit to go from summons and complaint to auction — even if you ignore the court case. In reality, however, the process is taking much longer. If you file an Answer and appear at the mandatory settlement conference, it is taking lenders 1 to 3 years to foreclose.
New York is a judicial foreclosure state, which means that the lender has to sue the borrower in order to enforce their rights under the mortgage and note. If the lender wins the lawsuit, it obtains a judgment from the court, which allows the lender to sell the property at an auction.
Throughout the foreclosure process, various legal notices must be filed in your County Recorder's Office. This information is public record and available to anyone. Just visit your county's office and you can search for a Notice of Default (NOD), lis pendens or Notice of Sale. Two benefits to searching public records?
The new law does not disturb New York's six-year statute of limitations on mortgage foreclosure actions. It simply restores a common-sense principle: no party may unilaterally stop and restart the statute of limitations to revive what would otherwise be a time-barred action.
The foreclosure proceeding can take at least one year to complete and often can take much longer, often up to 3 years or longer, especially when the borrower defends the foreclosure.
During the 5 week notice period, the homeowner can stop the foreclosure by making-up all missed payments (including late fees and attorney costs) or working with an attorney to stop the foreclosure process. The only time it is too late to stop a foreclosure is when the property is sold at auction to a new party.
