Foreclosure Guide
When a borrower stops making mortgage payments to the lender, the loan is in “default.” The lender may then initiate a legal proceeding to sell the property to satisfy the debt. This is called foreclosure, and each step of the procedure is subject to state and federal law.
This section and its "Helpful Links" explains many of the terms, timelines and procedures involved in the foreclosure process in Nevada.

Foreclosure: Foreclosure is a legal process where the lender takes back the property due to missed payments. It can stay on your credit report for up to 7 years and may involve vacating your home sooner than you'd like.
