She had a mortgage which was canceled on the foreclosure.
She had no equity in the house if she had to pay off the mortgage.
Even if she did owe a mortgage, that price gain is hers!!!
There are lots of near paid off mortgage’s and properties with large equity gains, where an elderly person becomes unable to work or pay bills.
This ruling is going to restore faith in the idea of home ownership!
The gubment might seize your home, but they must return to you any excess proceeds from the sale.
This will chill gubments from preying on homeowners, now that they need to pay up any Ill gotten gains with interest!
The ruling will have lasting impact for next 100 years.
