Stop Foreclosure
When you fall behind on your mortgage payments, you face the possibility of foreclosure. In Illinois, the foreclosure process is a judicial process in which the lender has to go to court and file a foreclosure lawsuit. You have the opportunity to fight a foreclosure in court. This can stall the process to allow you more time or prevent the foreclosure if you have valid legal defenses.
Single Parent Scholarship
Newland & Newland established the Single Parent Scholarship in 2022. Each semester, single parents and children of single parents may apply for the chance to win this $1,000 award.
Foreclosures
If you are struggling to make your mortgage payments, you should know that you are not alone. Missed mortgage payments, however, could lead to collection activities by your lender, including possible foreclosure on your home. At Newland & Newland, LLP, we have the experience and knowledge to help you whether your mortgage is in default or foreclosure proceedings have already started. We can assist with loan modifications, work-out agreements, and other options to prevent or stop a foreclosure. Our team will also take action on your behalf if your lender acted fraudulently or in bad faith.
Real Estate
Your home is likely to be the largest investment that you ever make. Therefore, it is important to approach the buying or selling process with great care and due diligence. The attorneys at our firm assist buyers and sellers in all types of residential real estate transactions. We also provide guidance with leasing agreements and rental contracts. From the moment you contact our firm to the closing and beyond, our team will remain at your side, protecting your rights every step of the way.

Estate Planning
For many people, estate planning is an uncomfortable subject, but one that must be discussed in order to provide your family with the security and peace of mind they deserve. The attorneys at Newland & Newland, LLP will work with you in analyzing your situation and deciding on the right set of tools to meet your needs. We help with wills, trusts, powers of attorney, advance medical directives, and more. No matter how large or how small your estate may be, our team can assist you in creating a comprehensive plan for the future.
Probate
Losing a loved one is almost always difficult, but the period after the person's death can be especially hard for surviving family members. Probate is the process through which a deceased person's estate and will are validated by the court, and it can be a complex, time-consuming undertaking. Our lawyers are equipped to help you and family manage the probate process so that you can focus on moving forward. We also provide guidance for executors, trustees, and others involved with administration of the deceased person's estate.
