It is important to know the foreclosure law in your state as each has a different legal process which will directly affect the timeline for the bank to foreclose on your home. If your state requires a judicial foreclosure a court must be involved in the foreclosure process. If it is a non-Judicial foreclosure state there is generally a trustee empowered with the authority to sell the home for the lien holder following a legal timeline and proper notice.
