Ohio Foreclosure Defense
Ohio foreclosures are judicial and end in a sheriff's sale the court must confirm. The lender must prove its acceleration/breach notice and that it held the note.
Process: Judicial — court case; sheriff's sale; the court must confirm it (R.C. 2329.31).
Pre-foreclosure notice: The mortgage's notice-of-default / acceleration letter (a condition precedent); FHA loans also need the 24 CFR 203.604 face-to-face step.
Statute of limitations: 6 years on the note (R.C. 1303.16); written-contract SOL R.C. 2305.06.
Lead move: Motion to vacate the decree of foreclosure (Civ.R. 60(B)) + objection to confirmation and a stay.
