Question: Can you do a Deed-in-lieu of foreclosure if you have a home equity line of credit on your home?

I am considering the Deed in lieu of foreclosure option but I have a Home equity line of credit on my house. Is this something that can still be done? BTW I live in Florida if that has any bearing on the answer.
Thanks in advance for any advice

Answer: Not absolutely certain about a "2nd" mortgage in Florida, but in most states, the line of credit will just be closed. And if you have a balance, the lender can come after you personally for repayment.

This sounds like an important question to you. I would suggest getting an answer from a Florida real estate attorney.

Good luck.
