The new law creates a fast track process when foreclosed property has been abandoned. The new expedited process will ensure the foreclosure process is complete in about 100 days instead of nearly 500 days. The law also requires some banks to pay a fee, which will provide millions of dollars to help counsel those who are facing foreclosure.
