In addition to my question 4/28, what can the bank of foreclosure take from you (Ft. Myers, Fl., Lee County)?
I don't live in Florida, so I am unfamiliar with bank foreclosures in this state. However, I found some helpful information for you.
Florida is a judicial state when it comes to foreclosures. The process must go through the courts. It sounds to me like the bank can take anything related to the house. Technically, they own the house, so they can take anything in the house. However, it seems as though you can move your belongings out to another residence and these will be safe.
From Article Maniac:
A foreclosure action, which is a lawsuit filed under the county where the property is located, is made. This states the intent of the mortgage company to evict the residents and take over ownership of the property. They will post the date and time of the auction where the property will be sold, anywhere from three to six weeks in the future.
At any time before the auction of the property, the mortgage holder can take back the property if they can pay off the mortgage in full. If they can pay for the mortgage in full, the proceedings are halted and the mortgage holders can move in and reassume ownership of the property.
