FORECLOSURE - THE SUMMONS

Q: Do I have to get out of the property 20 days after the summons is received?
A: "Many people are afraid that when they receive the summons and it says there are 20 days to file a response, that that means they have to get out of their property in 20 days. The truth is you do not have to get out of the property within 20 days, but you do need to seek the assistance of qualified counsel to be able to file a proper response. If you do not respond within those 20 days, you may be giving up some valuable rights in order to stay in your property longer or to work out a solution to keep your property."
