Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Motion to Dismiss

We received foreclosure paperwork. If

we were to appear in court and object

to the motion to dismiss (we are the

sole parties) then what does that mean,

especially in lieu of ''seeking legal

relief''?

I am confused. If you are in foreclosure, why are you objecting to a motion to dismiss? If you recieved a summons, then you need to appear in Court.

It sounds like you need help understanding the paperwork you recieved. We are more than happy to look at the paperwork and possibly represent you in your foreclosure. Feel free to give us a call and we will try to help.

Re: Motion to Dismiss

What is the motion requesting to dismiss? If it is to dismiss unknown occupants, etc, I don't think appearing for that makes a difference. However, it is a good idea to contest the entry of a judgment. If you haven't filed your appearance in the foreclosure, you run the risk of a default judgment being entered. If you are wanting to save the house you may want to consult a chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney.
