Illinois Foreclosure Laws

Foreclosure law

In the state of Illinois, real estate foreclosures are judicial foreclosures, meaning that distressed properties in Illinois are handled by the legal system in the state. Typically, cases involving foreclosure houses must be approved by a court - sometimes a special foreclosure court - before they can be handled by real estate brokers and sold. The lender will file a complaint along with a Lis Pendens notice; the court will then decide if the complaint is valid. If it is, the court will issue a writ for a public auction for the property. If these properties do not sell, the lender regains possession of the home, and they become Illinois REO properties.
