An older adult contacted legal aid because she was behind on her mortagage payments due to unexpected bills and health expenses. The lender had denied her request for a loan modification. A legal aid attorney verified that a sheriff’s sale had not been scheduled, advised her of her legal rights and assisted her in applying for financial assistance. She was approved for financial assistance and her home was no longer at risk of foreclosure. She was relieved and incredibly grateful for legal aid’s assistance in saving her home.
