What is the Automatic Stay in Regards to Foreclosure?
A Sacramento bankruptcy attorney defines an automatic stay.
When you file for bankruptcy, the automatic stay immediately stops any lawsuit filed against you and most actions against your property by a creditor, collection agency, or government entity. Especially if you are at risk of being evicted or being foreclosed on the automatic stay is a powerful reason to file for bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy will likely give around 2 months before the home is subject to relief from automatic stay. The lender will request the court to remove the property from protection of the automatic stay. The requirement for relief from stay is delinquency in payments. After relief from automatic stay the home is then set for sale.
A chapter 13 allows for the restructuring of debts per a proposed plan. Here a borrower can use Chapter 13 to cure the amount they are behind on while paying the ongoing home loan payment all while being protected by the automatic stay.
