Foreclosure Hearing Delay Options

Summary

If you are looking to buy a relatives house but need more time, consider requesting a continuance for the foreclosure hearing. This is at the judges discretion. Another option is for your relative to consult with a bankruptcy attorney, as filing for bankruptcy may delay the foreclosure process. Consult a local attorney for more accurate advice.
