Foreclosure Challenge Legal Steps

Summary

In California, if a home is sold at auction despite verbal requests to halt, legal options remain. Written notice is crucial to stop foreclosure. Post-auction, you can file a lawsuit for wrongful foreclosure and seek a temporary restraining order to halt eviction. Consulting a real estate attorney is advisable for personalized guidance. Essential documents like the Notice of Default and Trustees Deed Upon Sale should have the trustees signature. If the mortgage companys signature is present instead, it may be a legal issue. Legal action can still be pursued after the auction, even if the property was sold to the mortgage company.
