I have a friend who has had some medical problems for the past year. She has had disability insurance and is current in her mortgage payment. My question is: Is there any means for her to "give back" her property to the lender and walk away from her mortgage and her lender not come back at a later date and proceed to garnish her future earnings? She is running out of her disability payments in June and she is sorely distressed about this. She is a Georgia resident.
Thank you

Hi rabyjames!

Welcome to forums!

If she walks away from the property, then the lender will foreclose it which will have a negative affect on her credit and she would be responsible for paying the deficient balance resulting from the sale. I would suggest your friend to apply for a deed in lieu of foreclosure with her lender. Though this will have a negative affect on her credit, she won't be liable for the balance amount resulting after the sale of the property.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
