Florida Mortgage Foreclosure: Served by Mail

Back To Foreclosure Defense Video Help Page

Back To Foreclosure Defense Video Help Page

Usually, people aren’t notified of a Florida mortgage foreclosure through the mail. As I discuss in the video, being served typically involves having a person come to your door and serving you the summons in person.

It’s a common and accepted part of the mortgage foreclosure process, and something you’ve likely seen in all kinds of movies and TV shows for a variety of legal cases. In fact, the server doesn’t necessarily have to come to your home but can find you at work or other places you’re known to frequent, which is why you have so many clever movie scenes with servers pretending to be someone they’re not to get the person being served to take the paperwork from them.

Often banks will send out paperwork that makes people think they’ve been served but isn’t an official service. Still, that doesn’t mean that you can’t be served by mail. It can and does happen, so you have to be wary.

How Does Getting Served by Mail Work in Florida Mortgage Foreclosure?

Mail service in the mortgage foreclosure process is a last resort. The bank should attempt to summon you in person first, and only when servers say that they have been unable to do this should the bank turn to mail service.

Why is this important? Because, as mentioned in the video, servers don’t always tell the truth. What’s to stop someone from saying they came to your home or place of business and you just weren’t there? If this happens to you, it’s important to tell your attorney immediately because you have a right to be served in person.

Know Your Rights in Florida Mortgage Foreclosure

Just because you’ve missed a few payments doesn’t mean that you can have your rights taken away from you or that you should be treated differently. If you believe that you’ve been served a lawsuit through the mail improperly, find a lawyer immediately and talk to them about it. In a Florida mortgage foreclosure case, you need all the ammunition you can get to fight the other side.

The divorce process is never easy, but everyone one at TK Law made it as easy as possible. Kayla Johnson, my paralegal was always available, helpful and understanding of the situation. Attorney Janelise Gastell was also extremely helpful. She made sure all decisions were made in my best interest. My divorce seemed to take much longer than the average due to the other side, but both Ms Johnson and Attorney Gastell kept things moving as quickly as possible.

My wife and I finally took the steps to start the estate planning process as we are not getting any younger and we didn't want to leave a mess for our daughter to have to clean up. We have witnessed this far too many times of the last few years, as relatives have passed away only to watch the circus play out afterward. TK Law provided a wonderful experience from start to finish. Everyone at the office that I had the pleasure of working with was extremely professional and got back to me in a timely manner with any questions that I had. My wife and I really appreciate all the hard work and are very thankful to get all our estate planning needs met. We now have the peace of mind that we have done all that we can to minimize any issues after we pass.

On August 7, 2020, I was fortunate TK Law Firm was suggested as the first option for Divorce and Family Law. I was blessed to be represented by Ms. Janelise Gastell and TK Law Firm Support Staff. Ms. Gastell has the qualities and standards of integrity, ethics and loyalty. Ms. Gastell's dedication and determination resulted in positive results. Ms. Gastell challenged me to put in the same amount of effort. The end result was the divorce being finalized on September 4, 2020. Four years later, the money spent was an outstanding investment. The financial investment was an integral part of moving forward in my life. This included my well being mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. If potential clients are searching for excellent Divorce and Family legal representation. My recommendation would be Attorney Janelise Gastell. Thank You.
