Foreclosure is the cutting off or termination of a right to property to compel payment of a mortgage or other debt secured by a lien. As to real property, like a house or land, foreclosure is started because of non-payment of the debt and leads to the selling of the property to which the mortgage or lien is attached in order to satisfy that debt. Lawyers who assist with foreclosure issues help struggling homeowners consider their options -- both foreclosure and foreclosure alternatives -- and determine the best course of action. Foreclosure alternatives may include loan modification, short sale, forbearance, reinstatement, and repayment plans.
Colebrook is a town in Litchfield County, Connecticut, United States. The population was 1,471 at the 2000 census. Colebrook was named after Colebrooke, in the English county of Devon. Early in Colebrook's history, an explorer from the county of Devon landed in Connecticut. It is believed throughout the town that he hid a small chest in Colebrook's local pond. Supposedly, it contains jewelry from Egyptian Monarchs shortly after the Revolutionary War. This is untrue. The pond is man-made and only contains snakes, weeds, and leeches.
