Explanation
The Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law (735 ILCS 5/15) governs all aspects of the Illinois foreclosure process. Key features include: mandatory judicial proceedings (lender must file a lawsuit), a redemption period (typically 7 months from service or 3 months from judgment), right to sell the property before the judicial sale, and regulations on deficiency judgments. Illinois's judicial foreclosure process is one of the longer processes in the country, often taking 12-24+ months.
