Forbearance Law

Forbearance Legal Issues:

Forbearance Law:

To avoid a home from going through foreclosure, homeowners have the option of forbearance. Forbearance takes place when the mortgage company defers the principal mortgage payment and requires that only the escrow payment be made for the next one to six months, depending on the lender. Homeowners sign a forbearance agreement which signifies that the lender required them to pay the owed amount at a later time, saving them from foreclosure.

Forbearance Law Legal Issues:

Forbearance can help save one's home from foreclosure, as well as give the homeowner time to save extra money over the course of the months, so that they can return to making full mortgage payments. The disadvantage to mortgage forbearance plans, however is that in the long run, interest will accrue on the total mortgage balance.
