The lawyers at MPL Law Firm are experienced in all aspects of foreclosure sales and real estate tax sales. Representing buyers of property at foreclosure and tax sales across the state of Pennsylvania, we are very knowledgeable about mortgage and lien foreclosure procedures and procedures under Pennsylvania’s real estate tax sale law.
What Is the Difference Between a Foreclosure and a Tax Sale?
A foreclosure and a tax sale are similar in that they both can lead to property owners losing their homes. However, the former occurs due to the homeowner failing to keep up with mortgage payments, while the latter results from falling behind on property or real estate taxes. Many homeowners roll their property taxes into their mortgage payments, which can further complicate matters.

Our York, Pennsylvania, foreclosure attorneys are familiar with all aspects of the process as it impacts property owners:
- Demand letter: All lenders must send the appropriate notice to a homeowner before initiating a foreclosure action. The letter informs the property owner that the mortgage is in default, explains the necessary steps for rectifying the situation and states the consequences of failing to comply.
- Notice of intent to foreclose: Lenders are required to give at least 30 days’ notice of a foreclosure filing, providing the homeowner an additional opportunity to “cure” the default.
- Foreclosure lawsuit: If the homeowner does not comply by the end of the 30 days, the lender can then file a lawsuit in state court against the homeowner.
Contact our foreclosure lawyers as soon as possible after receiving a demand letter. We’ll help you create and execute the most appropriate legal strategy based on your unique situation. We can also implement a well-crafted lawsuit defense if necessary.
