As we have already mentioned in many posts that there are many options that are available to homeowners who are facing foreclosure. However, you have to act fast. The faster you try to get help, the better your chances of getting out of foreclosure are. One of the biggest problem is that most homeowners in foreclosure are in denial about their situations until it is too late. Many homeowners do not tell anyone, do not ask for any help and just ignore the bank during the foreclosure process. Finally, a day or a week before the foreclosure auction, they speak up and ask for help. By that time, they only have very few options available to them, if any. This book called The Foreclosure Survival Guide: Keep Your House or Walk Away With Money in Your Pocket will help you understand what you need to do if you are going to stop the bank from taking away your home.

"Nolo's just published The Foreclosure Survival Guide: Keep Your House or Walk Away with Money in Your Pocket by Steven Elias "discusses the most recent laws designed to help homeowners deal with the crisis and points them to resources (nonprofit housing counselors, government agencies and so on) that may help," says Mary Randolph, Nolo's senior vice president of editorial.

Elias, a practicing attorney, former Nolo associate publisher and current president of the National Bankruptcy Law Project, advises that readers not panic. "Even if the lender does foreclose on the house, the process takes months at the least. You're going to have time to evaluate your options and make smart choices." (Publishers Weekly )

Bankruptcy attorney Elias targets the estimated two million American homeowners who are currently in default on their mortgages. Elias explains how foreclosure works, what options there may be for keeping a home when in default, and what to do when that is not possible. He includes instruction on negotiating a workout with a lender as well as chapters on how to use bankruptcy to avoid foreclosure. Elias's section on fighting foreclosure in the courts helps readers understand the circumstances in which they may be able to delay or stop a foreclosure action. The appendixes provide summaries of each state's foreclosure laws, a glossary, and information on finding and working with lawyers and bankruptcy petition preparers. Straightforward and timely, this is recommended for most public libraries.
