Under the laws of all states in this country a property owner is required to receive written notice that his or her home is subject to a foreclosure proceeding before the actual auction happens. Given what you have written about I suggest that you consult with a real estate attorney to assist you in the matter which is the subject of your question.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
