How Much Time Do You Really Have to Decide? - Sharon Powell

How Much Time Do You Really Have to Decide?

Here’s where urgency matters. Once the lender sends the “due and payable” letter, the clock starts.

HUD Timeline

  • 0–30 days: Lender notifies estate.

  • 6 months: Heirs must resolve the loan.

  • Possible extensions: Up to 12 months total if progress is shown.

What Qualifies for an Extension

  • You’re under contract to sell.

  • You’ve applied for refinancing.

  • You’ve listed the property and can show marketing activity.

Failing to communicate can lead to foreclosure even if you intend to act.
