Foreclosure laws vary from state to state, and it is imperative that you know and understand the applicable laws in your state. In the state of California, for instance, your lender cannot begin the foreclosure process until at least 30 days after contacting you with the intention to foreclose. It is incumbent upon your lender to work with you toward a solution that would allow you to avoid foreclosure.
