    Deed-in-Lieu

    - Overview.
  • All Resources

    What is a Deed-in-Lieu?

    A deed-in-lieu (" deed in lieu of foreclosure") is a borrower's voluntary conveyance of clear and of the residential or commercial property to Freddie Mac in exchange for a discharge of financial obligation.

    Starting

    If a debtor's challenge is long-term and they're not able to be approved for any retention options or a short sale option, the Servicer should evaluate the customer for a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a much faster and simpler procedure that enables having a hard time homeowners to exit gracefully from their homes.

    The basic deed-in-lieu streamlines and simplifies the deal by:

    - Avoiding foreclosure.
    - Providing to $7,500 in moving assistance for house owners who meet specific requirements.
    - Accelerating the decision-making procedure by entrusting approval of authority to Servicers.

Borrower Eligibility

All customers are qualified for a deed-in-lieu under the following conditions:

- A borrower who doesn't meet the requirements for a structured deed in lieu of foreclosure should be experiencing or have experienced among the eligible difficulties listed in Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide (Guide) Section 9202.2( a).
- The debtor should be able to communicate clear and marketable title to the mortgaged facilities to Freddie Mac.
- The customer isn't delinquent, hasn't gotten a brand-new mortgage in the six months preceding the borrower's delinquency or, if the customer is present in the 6 months preceding evaluation for a deed-in-lieu, the customer is just permitted to have gotten a brand-new mortgage if their eligible difficulty was far-off work transfer.
- if the Borrower is existing, in the 6 months preceding the assessment of the Borrower for a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.
- The Borrower is only allowed to have gotten a new Mortgage if the Borrower's qualified difficulty was far-off work transfer.
Exceptions: There are some scenarios where the Servicer need to submit a deed-in-lieu recommendation to Freddie Mac:

- If the residential or commercial property is condemned and/or broker rate opinion (BPO) shows that the residential or commercial property has actually been improperly preserved, has structural/foundation issues or needs major repair work.
- If a debtor does not meet eligibility requirements for a deed in lieu of foreclosure but the Servicer feels it may be the finest option for attending to the delinquency. The Servicer needs to also send a complete Borrower Response Package (BRP).
However, unless informed by Freddie Mac, all Servicers are delegated to authorize a deed in lieu of foreclosure that meets the eligibility requirements of Section 9209.2( a)

Borrower Documentation

Borrower documentation is based on delinquency. Borrowers who are more than 18 months overdue should be examined for a structured deed-in-lieu.

For more details about deeds-in-lieu, refer to Chapter 9209.
