Michigan expects to get $790M in foreclosure deal

Michigan says it expects to get $790 million as part of a landmark $25 billion settlement with the nation's top mortgage lenders.

The office of Michigan's attorney general announced Thursday that the estimate is up from the about $500 million it said Tuesday was expected for joining the settlement. The deal was reached over foreclosure abuses that occurred after the housing bubble burst.

Officials say 49 states joined the settlement with five of the nation's biggest lenders. The deal will reduce loans for a fraction of those Americans who owe more than their homes are worth. It will also send checks to others who were improperly foreclosed upon.
