Foreclosure is a legal proceeding where the lien holder, usually a lender obtains a court ordered termination of a borrower's equitable right of redemption. Lender obtains a security interest from a borrower who has pledged an asset like a house to secure the loan amount. If the borrower defaults on payment then the lender can repossess the property as courts of equity has granted the borrower the equitable right of redemption if he or she repays the debt.

In the US and many other countries, several types of foreclosure exist. The most widely used foreclosure proceedings are by judicial sale and by power of sale. Therefore, it can be said that process of foreclosure varies from state to state.

Options such as refinancing, alternate financing, bankruptcy or temporary arrangements with the lender, may help the homeowners to avoid a legal foreclosure proceedings. The four important ways to overcome it are:

1. The first way could be that the borrower or homeowner can return the loan by paying off the default amount during the grace period.

2. The borrower can sell the property to a third party during the pre-foreclosure period. The sale allows the borrower to pay off the loan and avoid the legal process his or her credit history.

3. A third party can buy the property at a public auction at the end of the pre-foreclosure period.

4. The lender can take ownership with the borrower during pre-foreclosure, with the help of a short sale foreclosure.

By preventing the filing of a Notice of Default, a borrower can avoid foreclosure. Therefore, it is necessary to call your lender before falling behind on your payments, as lenders are often unwilling to work out repayment schedules after foreclosure proceedings have been commenced.

Lastly, foreclosures can seriously affect the ability to qualify for credit in the future. So it is recommended that you must try to avoid foreclosure if possible.
