Illinois Foreclosure Defense

Illinois foreclosures are judicial under the IMFL, with a grace-period notice and a judge's confirmation of sale you can object to.

Process: Judicial — court case; the judge must confirm the sale afterward (735 ILCS 5/15-1508(b)).

Pre-foreclosure notice: 30-day grace-period notice (735 ILCS 5/15-1502.5) + IMFL complaint and capacity (15-1504).

Statute of limitations: 10 years on a written contract (735 ILCS 5/13-206).

Lead move: Motion to vacate the judgment + objection to confirmation of sale and a stay (735 ILCS 5/2-1301, 2-1401).
