Bill Summary
For legislation to require the judicial review of foreclosures on residential mortgages. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the foreclosure statute to require judicial foreclosure, meaning that foreclosures on residential mortgages for 1-4 family owner-occupied properties must be initiated by filing a complaint in the Superior Court. The bill allows the defendant-residential mortgagor to raise all legal and equitable claims and defenses against the mortgagee or any related party, and gives the court the authority to modify the mortgage or grant other appropriate relief to the mortgagor. The bill also allows the court to set aside a default judgment for good cause shown.
