Answer by glenn

You are legally obligated under
most mortgages and under most state laws to pay the entire mortgage debt including any interest and fees and lawyers fees plus insurance and property taxes. Most people not in your situation do have the money to do this and either declare bankruptcy or get the mortgage company to forgive them of this.In other words, after a house is taken from you in foreclosure you may be legally obligated to pay the mortgage company for any shortfall they did not recover to the foreclosure sale.Some states and some mortgages are ?non-recourse? and the mortgage company can not come back against you, but most are not.
