Florida Supreme Court Foreclosure Final Order- Great Stuff For Homeowners!
Author: Matthew D. Weidner, Esq.
On December 28, 2009 the Florida Supreme Court issued its Final Order and findings relating to residential mortgage foreclosures in Florida. The full text of the report can be found here. The report notes that,
Florida has the third highest mortgage delinquency rate, the worst foreclosure inventory, and the most foreclosure starts in the nation. At the close of 2009, it is estimated there will be an inventory of approximately 456,000 pending foreclosure cases statewide.
I am still digesting the information contained within the Order, but the most significant element of the Order, is that all residential mortgages in foreclosure will be referred to mediation. This is a significantly positive development for homeowners because it will force the lender to communicate directly with the borrower.
