The state's highest court has found nothing unconstitutional about Maryland's foreclosure notification process, even though a homeowner might not receive the notice before the property is sold.

The opinion by the Maryland Court of Appeals says it would be up to the legislature to make any changes. The law requires that foreclosure plans be published in a newspaper and sent to the homeowner via regular and certified mail about two weeks before the property is sold. If the owner doesn't receive the message, the owner could still lose the home.

What kind of notification do you need? You know that if you have missed 3 or more payments and dodged phone calls that sooner or later, you will be put out. It only a matter of time and start packing.
