Bayonne foreclosure defense and real estate attorney

Bayonne's housing is dominated by owner-occupied two- and three-family homes, many held in the same family for decades. Foreclosure cases here often involve inherited property, siblings who co-own, and estates that were never formally settled. [Add local detail.]

Local knowledge that matters

When the borrower on a Bayonne mortgage has died, the foreclosure may be filed against the heirs or the estate. Heirs have rights, including the ability to assume or modify the loan under federal servicing rules, but they have to be asserted. David handles the probate and foreclosure sides together.

Contested cases are heard at the Hudson County Chancery Division in Jersey City. Sheriff's sales for every Hudson County property are held on Thursdays, usually twice a month, at 2:00 PM in the County Administration Building at 595 Newark Avenue, Jersey City. The Sheriff's Foreclosure Office is at 257 Cornelison Avenue, Room 2001. Homeowners are entitled by statute to two adjournments of up to 30 days each, and have 10 days after the sale to redeem or object.

Free local resources David often coordinates with: the New Jersey Foreclosure Mediation Program (requested through the court within 60 days of service), HUD-certified housing counseling through the Waterfront Project in Jersey City, and the NJ Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency hotline at (855) 647-7700.
