Mortgage Foreclosures

Kessler Law prosecutes mortgage foreclosures on behalf of lenders, including private and hard money lenders and purchasers of notes and mortgages.

Our representation begins with a review of the loan documents and assignment history and continues through final judgment, the foreclosure sale and delivery of possession.

• We serve the required default notices and file and serve the foreclosure complaint.
• We prosecute the action through default or contested proceedings to final judgment.
• Where appropriate, we move for the appointment of a rent receiver to protect the property and its income during the action.
• We coordinate the Sheriff’s sale and monitor payment of the balance of the purchase price by a third-party bidder.
• If the lender takes title at the sale, we obtain possession by writ of possession or ejectment and address the rights of tenants in the property.

Claims against guarantors may proceed alongside the foreclosure. Our post-sale services are described at Sheriff’s Sales and our broader representation of lenders at Lending and Finance.
