In the unfortunate situation that you and your family have been threatened with foreclosure, you might consider trying the following options to help cope with the circumstances.

• You may want to stay in your home as long as you are allowed while awaiting foreclosure completion. During this time you may be able to save money that would be spend on house notes in preparation for your impending move.
• Try to find a buyer and convince your lender to accept their offer.
• See if your lender will let you sign over the deed in exchange for their cancelling the foreclosure.
• Try to negotiate your current mortgage. Even if this doesn’t work, the fact that you earnestly tried will look good when you’re looking for a new residence.
• Lastly, your best option may simply be for you and your family to pack your things and leave. Make sure you’re safe from a deficiency lawsuit before you take this route, though.
• File for personal bankruptcy.
