November eBook of the Month

The No. 1 topic of conversation in the news and around the office today and tomorrow? Foreclosures. They rose in the U.S. by over 79 percent last year—and over two million more are expected in the next two years.

Written by a practicing lawyer who has helped hundreds keep their homes or come out of foreclosure financially sound, Foreclosure Survival Guide provides practical solutions and information that can help readers make the best decisions possible.
An essential tool for anyone at risk of foreclosure, Foreclosure Survival Guide provides key information about:

What to expect from foreclosure
Whether it’s worth trying to keep the house
Walking away from a house with money in hand
Building liquidity
Opportunities and resources for a workout
Using Chapter 7 to buy time
Using Chapter 13 bankruptcy to save a home

Foreclosure Survival Guide gathers all the information Attorney Stephen R. Elias has used to help hundreds of clients over 30 years of practicing law and shows readers how to deal with foreclosure.
