Foreclosure Basics

Foreclosure in New Hampshire can happen very quickly. You can lose your home in less than 120 days if you do nothing.

In New Hampshire, most home mortgages have a "power of sale" clause. A "power of sale" clause means that the lender can take your home without taking you to court if you are behind in your home mortgage payments. Because of this "power of sale" clause allowed in New Hampshire home mortgages, New Hampshire is called a "non-judicial" foreclosure state.
