HOW FORECLOSURE WORKS IN KENTUCKY

Missed Payments

Foreclosure typically begins after a homeowner has missed three or more mortgage payments, 90-120 past due.

Pre-Foreclosure Notice

The lender sends a letter, warning that foreclosure proceedings may begin if the loan is not brought current.

Filing of Foreclosure Lawsuit

The lender files a lawsuit.

Default Judgment or Court Hearing

If no response is filed, the court may grant a default judgment, allowing the foreclosure to proceed. If a response is filed, a hearing is scheduled.

Judicial Sale Ordered

If the court rules in favor of the lender, the home is scheduled for sale at a public auction by the County Master Commissioner’s office.

Redemption Period

In Kentucky, homeowners have a six-month redemption period to buy back their home. after a foreclosure sale, if the property is sold for less than two-thirds of the Master Commissioners appraised value.

Eviction Process

If the homeowner does not vacate the property voluntarily, the new owner or lender, can file for eviction.

ALTERNATIVES TO FORECLOSURE

 

Facing foreclosure doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Here are some possible solutions:

Sell Your Home

Selling your home before foreclosure can help protect your credit and prevent a foreclosure record. I can help you:

• Sell quickly for cash if you need an immediate solution.

• List your home on the market for maximum value and time to move on your terms.
Loan Modification
 
Lenders may agree to modify your loan terms (such as lowering interest rates or extending the loan length) to make payments more manageable.
Forbearance Agreement
 
A temporary pause or reduction in mortgage payments, typically granted for short-term hardships like job loss or medical emergencies.
Short Sale
 
If your home is worth less than what you owe, a short sale allows you to sell with the lender’s approval and avoid foreclosure.

Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure
 
You voluntarily transfer home ownership to the lender in exchange for debt forgiveness. This option may still impact your credit but is often better than foreclosure.
Filing for Bankruptcy
 
Bankruptcy can temporarily halt foreclosure through an automatic stay, giving you time to reorganize finances. This should be considered only after consulting with a legal professional.
