How to Stop a Foreclosure in Georgia
What is the Foreclosure Process in Georgia?
In most cases, the foreclosure process in Georgia is rather simple:
- Step 1 – The bank sends you a notice that informs you of its intent to foreclose and its time-frame.
- Step 2 – If the money owed is not paid, then, for four weeks, the bank can run a foreclosure ad.
- Step 3 – The bank can foreclose on the first Tuesday of the following month.
If the bank fails to follow any one of these three steps, then the sale is invalid. Regardless, the key to addressing a foreclosure is preventing the sale before it can be completed.
