    Tax and Escrow?

    We are currently considering foreclosure on a $1600 per month mortgage which includes $500 in escrow. If we do go ahead, will we still have to sort out and pay the escrow for tax and house insurance?

    Usually, escrow is 6 months to a year in advance, so you should be fine for a while. The lender will pay the taxes and acquire their own isurance if need be. If the taxes are not kept up to date, the county will place a lien on the home, which the lender doesn't want to happen during the foreclosure process, so the lender will keep up the taxes. The amount the lender continues to pay will be added to the amount you owe them and will be discharged in the BK.
