I have received so many calls about deficiency judgments due in part to the articles I have written on the subject on our sister blog, About Florida law. Those articles collectively discuss most aspects of Florida deficiency judgments that I face in my practice, including:
- What is HAFA? - Can HAFA Help? - Deficiency Judgment Relief
- Deficiency Judgment Counseling - An Overview
- Can the Bank Garnish my Wages after Foreclosure if they are seeking a Deficiency Judgment against me?
- Prime Borrowers in Florida are most at risk for a Deficiency Judgment
- Florida Deficiency Judgments – What is Fair Market Value?
- Walking away from your Home Mortgage – Not without Consequences
- Florida Deficiency Judgments – The Rest of the Story
- Deficiency Judgments in Florida
- Estate is Liable for Mortgage Deficiency, Not Heirs
If you have any question about deficiency judgments, please post a comment to either of our blogs. Otherwise, you may contact me, a Florida Real Estate Lawyer, by email or telephone at (954) 458-8655. I offer a free initial consultation.
I just went thru a short sale in Plantation, the 1st mortgage Wells Fargo, forgave the difference and issued a 1099...the 2nd Wachovia has not forgiven the loan...is there a way to prevent them from getting a deficiency judgement? They just wiped out my checking account that I had with them ( in hindsight I should have taken it to another bank)
