Fraud and the Statute of Limitations in Foreclosure Defense
One of the most common questions homeowners ask us is this:
“If I discover fraud in my foreclosure case, is it too late to do anything about it?”
Her is our answer. It depends. And here’s why.
Why Fraud Changes Everything
Every state has statutes of limitations (SOL) that set deadlines for filing lawsuits, including claims of fraud. But here’s the key: most states allow the clock to start ticking when the fraud is discovered, not when it happened.
This is called the “discovery rule.” It means if you just uncovered evidence that your foreclosure was based on false documents, forged signatures, or fabricated assignments, you may still have a case—even years later.
