People often assume that getting help means paying someone. For most of what you need early on, it does not.
Who to call
Bissell Centre — Community Bridge — 587-341-2074; Edmonton Community Legal Centre — 780-702-1725; Court Assistance Program (KB Amicus).
These are independent organisations. We are not connected to them, we are not paid to list them, and several of them help with things we do not touch at all.
For insolvency questions
A Licensed Insolvency Trustee is the only person licensed to advise on consumer proposals and bankruptcy in Canada. An initial consultation is usually free. If your difficulty is broader than the mortgage, that is the right first call — not us.
What free legal help can and cannot do
Duty counsel and clinic lawyers can explain your position, read what you have been served with, and tell you what your realistic options are. They generally cannot run a full defence for you. Even so, thirty minutes with someone who can read your documents is worth more than a fortnight of searching online.
About Beaumont
Close to the airport and the Nisku corridor, with a francophone heritage dating to the 1895 farming colony and official bilingual status.
Beaumont grew nearly 20% at the last census, the fastest on our list. That growth is the single most useful thing to understand about foreclosure risk here: a fast-growing town is full of people who bought recently, and recent buyers have had the least time to build equity. If you are early in a mortgage and have fallen behind, the equity cushion may be thinner than you assume — which is a reason to get real numbers rather than estimate.

One thing that is never free
Anyone charging an upfront fee to stop a foreclosure. That is the clearest warning sign in this business, and the people who can actually help are paid differently or not at all.
General information about the Alberta foreclosure process — not legal or financial advice, and nothing here guarantees an outcome. Every file is different.
