Mortgage Forgiveness Act Extended Until December 2013

The late night deal to avert the "fiscal cliff" included an extension of the 2007 Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act which was to expire on 12/31/2012. The relief act's extension was crucial to the recovering housing market.

Basically, what this means is homeowners doing a short sale will not have to pay income taxes on the forgiven debt as long as they close by 12/31/2013.

If you are interested in doing a short sale, call my office. We offer FREE legal representation for homeowners thinking about doing a short sale. It is also possible we may be able to get some relocation assistance for you ($3,000 or more) at the closing.
