Residential Properties For Banks and Corporate Lenders

The typical uncontested institutional foreclosure action that Tiveron Law handles within New York State is completed within six to seven months. The third-party and governmental expenses related to an action are advanced on behalf of the lender by Tiveron Law and then billed in three increments as we proceed with the foreclosure:

  1. Upon the filing of the Lis Pendens, Summons and Complaint
  2. Upon submission of the Order of Reference to the court
  3. Upon submission of the Judgment of Foreclosure and Sale to the court

If the foreclosure action is contested, the matter may be billed monthly, and additional fees may be required.

Some expenses associated with the required foreclosure action may vary depending upon the county where the mortgaged property is located, the number of defendants to be served, and their accessibility for service.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES

The foreclosure timeline and process are essentially the same for residential foreclosures. However, the fees and costs are typically higher due to multiple occupants in commercial properties and the frequent need for the appointment of a receiver.

PRIVATELY HELD MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES

Although these actions are conducted in the same fashion as institutional foreclosures and reach foreclosure sale within the same timeframe, they require more one-on-one consultation time (since there may be tax arrearages, judgments, and second or first mortgages to contend with), which may necessitate a higher fee structure.
