Q: I've heard of lawyers being able to stop foreclosure sales, but I've already lost my home to foreclosure. Do I still have a case?

A: If your home is sold to a third party (i.e. someone other than your lender) at your home’s foreclosure sale, that third party is considered a bona-fide purchaser, meaning that they cannot be held responsible for your lender’s wrongful foreclosure because they bought the property without knowledge of it. In that case, you may not get your home back even if you prove that your lender wrongfully foreclosed. Fortunately, the vast majority of homes are not sold to third party bona-fide purchasers at foreclosure sales. Instead, lenders usually buy homes they foreclose upon from their own foreclosure sale, and, because your lender is not a bona-fide purchaser, you CAN get your house back from your bank if you can prove wrongful foreclosure.
