Foreclosure Statute Limitations Explained
Summary
In New York, the statute of limitations for mortgage foreclosure is generally six years. The Foreclosure Abuse Prevention Act (FAPA) restricts lenders from restarting foreclosure after a voluntary dismissal. You may be able to use the 2010 dismissal to argue that the statute of limitations has expired, depending on your case specifics. Consulting a real estate attorney specializing in foreclosure is advisable for tailored advice.Full Conversation
I had a mortgage foreclosure in */*/*, this was dismissed by the lender because they wanted to correct a mortgage assignment. They started a new foreclosure in */*/*, and then made an successive lip pendens in */*/*. Question during this current forclosure could I use FAPA for the * to call in the statue of limitations, and was the lender allowed to restart since FABA says no restarting on a voluntary dismissed foreclosure?
