Please Help


What is the name of your state? I'm in the state of Florida and I would like to know what leins and judgements follow a foreclosure? I'm sorry if someone has answered this before but I am new and in need of a answer.
Thanks

Generally, a foreclosed lien wipes out all liens that are junior to it.

For example, I borrow money in the year 2000 and also in the year 2001. I get a mortgage on my land for both loans. I stop paying on the 2000 mortgage (the senior mortgage) and the lender forecloses on me. I lose the land and the 2001 mortgage (the junior mortgage) is killed by the foreclosure.

If you mean IRS liens, they have four months to redeem the land from the sale.

You get a trustee's deed at a foreclosure sale.

The general rule is that junior liens are wiped out; I doubt that any state, county, and city liens (whatever you mean by those terms) are wiped out.

You need a real estate lawyer if you are going to start buying foreclosed property.

It's a brutal affair.
