A Maryland Request for Order of Default is a legal document used in the state of Maryland as a way to start a foreclosure process. This document is typically filed by a mortgage lender or a loan service when a borrower has defaulted on their loan payments. It serves as a formal notice to the borrower that they are in default and that the lender is seeking to foreclose on the property. There are three different types of Maryland Request for Order of Default. The first type is the Order of Default, which is filed when the borrower has failed to make their mortgage payments for a period of time. This order serves as a summons to the borrower to appear in court and answer the lender's complaint. The second type is the Notice of Default, which is a written notice sent to the borrower informing them that they are in default and that the lender is seeking to foreclose on the property. The third type is the Notice of Intent to Foreclose, which is a formal notice from the lender stating that they intend to pursue foreclosure proceedings against the borrower. This document gives the borrower a chance to cure the default before the foreclosure process begins.
