If you are struggling with mortgage debt and do not see a way out, you may wish to consider a deed in lieu of foreclosure. This legal tool allows you to turn the deed of the house over to the lender, and avoid having a home foreclosure on your credit report. Your lender will require extensive paperwork, including tax returns, bank statements and a hardship letter. If you are self employed, you will also have to provide your profit/loss statement.
At the Sulaiman Law Group, LTD, we have significant experience helping people throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs avoid home foreclosure and other creditor actions. While a deed in lieu of foreclosure cannot help you keep your home, it may help you get your debt problems under control.

Illinois Deed in Lieu Attorneys
Is a deed in lieu of foreclosure (DILF) right for you? It may be, but your lender has to agree to it as well. From the borrower's perspective, a DILF is beneficial in a number of ways such as:
- It relieves the borrower of existing home debt.
- It protects the borrower from deficiency judgments.
- It spares the borrower from home foreclosure.
From the lender's perspective, it spares the lender from potentially costly and time-consuming foreclosure proceedings or litigation. However, the disadvantages often outweigh the advantages a DILF can present to a lender. For instance, if the property has additional liens on it, the lender will be very unlikely to grant a DILF, as it will force them to negotiate those liens with the other parties.
Our lawyers can work with your lenders to determine if a deed in lieu of foreclosure is in their best interests and, if not, identify other options. We will apply our knowledge of real estate and foreclosure law to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
