Can a bank foreclose on a house in someone esles name?

No, a bank cannot foreclose on a house that is in someone else's name unless they have a legal claim to that property, such as a lien or a mortgage agreement with the homeowner. Foreclosure is a legal process that allows a lender to take possession of a property when the borrower defaults on their loan. Only the property owner or those with a legal interest in the property can be subject to foreclosure proceedings.
