How Foreclosure Works in Louisiana
When a homeowner fails to make their mortgage payment, the lender is required to send them a letter notifying them of their delinquency and the steps they need to take to avoid foreclosure. If the homeowner fails to make a payment within the time frame specified in the letter, the lender may then choose to begin the foreclosure process.
In Louisiana, there are two different ways that foreclosure can occur:
- Judicial foreclosure: In this type of foreclosure, the lender will file a lawsuit against the homeowner, and the court will appoint a receiver to oversee the foreclosure proceedings.
- Executory proceedings: In this type of foreclosure, the lender can skip the court altogether and choose to sell the home directly through an entity known as a trustee's sale.
What Can You Do to Avoid Foreclosure?
Common reasons for foreclosure include:
- Not being able to keep up with your mortgage payments.
- Failing to pay taxes and insurance.
