Frequently Asked Questions

What is Land Contract Foreclosure?
According to Legal Services of Northern Michigan, land contract foreclosure is generally a more complicated and lengthy remedy to regain possession of the property than forfeiture. A significant difference; between forfeiture and foreclosure is that in a forfeiture a buyer may prevent the loss of the property by merely paying past due installments, while in foreclose the buyer may be required to pay the entire balance due under the land contract. In addition, in foreclosure even if the property is returned to the seller the buyer may remain liable to the seller for the portion of the balance due under the land contract which was not satisfied by the sale of the property.
