New Jersey is a judicial foreclosure state which means that if you default on your mortgage, the lender must go to court in order to repossess your home. (Some states use nonjudicial foreclosures, which do not go through court.) The New Jersey Fair Foreclosure Act provides the rules that lenders must follow before and during foreclosure.
