When Can I Pursue a Deed in Lieu?

The deed in lieu of foreclosure process is one that could potentially be the best option for both sides.

For lenders, it saves a lot of:

• Time
• Money
• Risk involved with pursuing the foreclosure process and in many cases allows them to reclaim a property without a fight

For borrowers, this process allows them to avoid having a foreclosure on their credit record by using the value of their property to release them from their loan in default.

This process does generally require a few particular circumstances in order to be an option:

• Both sides must enter into a deed in lieu transaction voluntarily, and in good faith
• The debt must be secured by the transfer of the deed
• The property value must be fair enough to cover the remainder of the loan

It is important to know about this option if you find yourself facing a foreclosure because many lenders will not suggest it due to the possibility of then facing a claim that they “forced” the borrower into negotiations.

Instead, the borrower must submit a written request to enter into negotiations voluntarily.
