Appliance Removal, Building Stripping and Home Foreclosure Attorney
Sound Legal Help Available Prior to the Foreclosure of Your Home
The "stripping" of the fixtures and/or appliances in homes that are about to be foreclosed upon is a new and growing trend. Financially, it seems to make sense. The bank is taking your property. Why not minimize your financial loss by removing and selling or keeping what you can?
Unfortunately, stripping a property of its fixtures and appliances is often illegal and is rarely in a property owner's best interests. Why?
Household items that are "fixed" to a property, like woodwork and appliances, are legally part of that property. Removing them, then, is usually against the law. Police can get involved, and a criminal record can result.
If you have questions regarding which items you can take from a property and which should remain, contact us first for a no-charge discussion. Foreclosure can be a painful process, but its impact can be minimized with careful planning.
When you take a loan out on real estate property, the property is not fully yours. Instead, the lender also holds an interest. Appliance removal and building stripping, therefore, are likely not in your best interest. For more information, contact an attorney at 888-627-8013.
