How Do Loan Modifications Work in Georgia?

First, you should understand that a loan modification is not the same thing as refinancing your mortgage. When you refinance your mortgage, you replace it entirely. A loan modification simply adjusts the terms of your existing mortgage.

You can generally only request a loan modification if you are experiencing some sort of financial hardship involving a loss of income. Examples include losing a job, losing a spouse, going through a costly divorce, and developing a disability. 

You may be wondering why a lender would consider granting a loan modification. The alternative is to foreclose on your home, which can be expensive and strenuous, even with Georgia’s more expedient procedures. Many lenders would prefer not to foreclose if they can help it – they would rather receive some money reliably than have to go through the motions of selling the property. However, they are also under no obligation to agree to a loan modification and can reject your request, even if you demonstrate a clear need for one. 

If your financial hardship means you are behind on mortgage payments or are about to be, you may qualify for a loan modification under one of several programs. To get a loan modification, you will need to apply with a wide range of documentation of your current financial situation, including recent pay stubs, bank statements, tax returns, a breakdown of your income and expenses, and a hardship letter. Our team at Dolhancyk Law can help you prepare your application and all necessary materials.
