What does Notice of Default mean?

A notice of default is a formal notice that informs a borrower that they have failed to make their mortgage payments and are in default on their loan. This notice is typically the first step in the foreclosure process and gives the borrower the opportunity to cure the default before the foreclosure process proceeds.
