Frequently Asked Questions
What is foreclosure defense and how does it work in Brooklyn?
Foreclosure defense involves legally challenging or delaying a lender’s attempt to take a property after a borrower defaults on their mortgage. In New York, foreclosures are judicial — meaning the lender must file a lawsuit in Kings County Supreme Court at 360 Adams Street and obtain a court judgment before selling the property. A defense attorney can raise procedural defects, negotiate loan modifications, or pursue settlement options that allow homeowners to stay in their homes.
How do co-op board approvals work in Brooklyn?
After a buyer and seller sign a contract, the buyer submits a detailed board application — typically including financial statements, tax returns, reference letters, and a personal statement. The co-op board reviews the package and schedules an interview. Approval can take 30–90 days and is not guaranteed. An attorney experienced with Brooklyn co-op transactions understands how to package a strong application and advise clients when a board rejection may have grounds for challenge.
What languages can I get real estate legal help in at Brooklyn law firms?
Several Brooklyn real estate law firms offer multilingual services. Aronov Law NY, for example, serves clients in Spanish, Russian, English, Hebrew, and Arabic. Finding an attorney who speaks your language is important because New York real estate documents — contracts, title reports, mortgage commitments — are dense legal texts where precise understanding matters. Ask about language capabilities before engaging any attorney.
