If you need help with the process, you can contact Consolidated Civil Enforcement - they have a ton of experience helping landlords through the legal process.

Higher interest rates on conventional loans may result, as the government backing currently helps keep rates low.

So, just give it your best self-help effort to find them, and then let the GAL do his or her job.As far as an ejectment lawsuit, the real question is, was the property legally abandoned?
