A judge, not a trustee. The lender must warn you by certified mail thirty days before suing, you can ask for a settlement conference within thirty days of being served, you can live in the home rent free until the sheriff sale, and you can redeem right up to that sale.

Three dates decide an Indiana case. Thirty days after you are served, when the right to ask for a settlement conference and the time to answer both close. Three months after the complaint is filed, the earliest a sale can happen. And the sheriff sale itself, because there is no redemption afterwards.
Rights that exist because the property is in Florida, whatever a servicer tells you on the phone.
Regional legal aid programmes take foreclosure cases at no cost if you qualify by income. Start at FloridaLawHelp.org, which routes you to the programme covering your county.
HUD-approved housing counsellors are free everywhere in the state — 1-800-569-4287. Several circuits also run residential foreclosure mediation; ask the clerk whether yours does.
Anyone who contacts you first, guarantees they can stop the sale for a fee paid up front, or asks you to sign the deed over is running a scam. Never sign a deed to someone promising to save your home.
Verified 8 September 2026 against the 2025 Florida Statutes and the Rules of Civil Procedure. That audit corrected ten items, including a dead citation for the deficiency limitation period, the wrong authority for the writ of possession, and a surplus claim deadline repealed in 2019. Statute text was verified; appellate case law was not, and two items — the paragraph 22 defence and current circuit mediation programmes — rest partly on secondary sources and should be confirmed by a Florida attorney before launch.
Short answers, each one sourced to the statute cited on this page.
