A state worker has urged the Nevada Supreme Court to allow early mediation for those in danger of losing their homes.

Sindy Scarce told the court that she may lose her home in Carson City within three months because of the required furloughs ordered by the Nevada Legislature. And she wants to head off the notice of default by re-arranging the loan.

The court is writing the rules that allow a homeowner to ask for mediation that requires the lender to participate once the foreclosure notice had been issued. The rules are expected to be completed by next week. And the court says the mediations can start by Aug. 1.
