QUESTION
Can I be forced to sign by law or could I just walk away and let the house go?
Asked on Oct 06th, 2012 on Foreclosures - Florida
More details to this question:
My wife and I hired a lawyer to help with a loan modification on our home. We just got a three-month trial period. My wife and I had a huge argument and she put a Protection from Abuse (PFA) on me where I was evicted from my home. She now wants me to sign all the papers and I refuse until she drops the PFA. We are both on the mortgage and the deed. She does not work and I do.

You can't be forced to sign. However, if you do not make the temporary payments, you will lose the right to modify, and the house will in all probability be foreclosed.

This is not a simple answer. You need advice from a real estate attorney licensed in the state where the real property is located.

No, you cannot be forced to sign a modification. Speak with your attorney about this.
