Divorce and a house in foreclosure
The marriage is ending and the house is behind, in default, or posted. One of you moved out. Payments slipped. Both names are still on the loan. That file does not wait for the decree.
What we do: buy the house. You sell it. If there is money after the loan and fees, that is money for the house — not a courthouse leftover. The auction does not split equity fairly. Fees eat it first.
We do not do the divorce. We do not pick who gets the kids or the cars. We need people who can actually convey title on the house. Cash if the payoff works. A short sale if you owe more than it will sell for. We negotiate our price as the buyer.
Fort Bend and the Houston metro. Talk about selling the house. We do not stop a foreclosure sale. We do not represent either of you.
What the statute actually says
A divorce decree does not rewrite the deed of trust. If both names are on the loan, the servicer can still give notice under Property Code § 51.002 and sell on the first Tuesday. Splitting the furniture does not pause that section.
Whoever can actually convey title is who we need on a purchase. We do not pick sides. We do not halt the sale. Cash if the payoff works. A short sale if the lender has to take less — and that lender still has to agree.
Statute links are the official text. This site is not a law firm. We buy houses. We do not give legal advice.
We do not stop a foreclosure sale. We are the buyer, not your agent.
