New York Foreclosure is Judicial
New York foreclosure law states that the lender first must file a lawsuit. Like most judicial states, the lender begins by having a summons and a complaint is filed. It is then sent to the borrower asking them to come to court to answer the complaint. The complaint is a lawsuit, which describes the lenders basis for foreclosure action. A notice of lis pendens is filed. The borrower has 20 days to answer the complaint. If no action is taken within the 20 days, there will be a motion for summary judgment. After summary judgment is granted, the court usually appoints a referee who will determine the amount owed and recommend how the property should be sold. Once the referee has issued the report, the court confirms the report and a judgment directing the sale of the property will be entered.
