The answer is it depends.
It is very possible that you can get sued. Your best bet would be to consult with an attorney who is very familiar with short sales and foreclosures. They can help explain the process and the liabilities involved. Also another good point of contact is a realtor who has a CDPE Designation, SFR, or a realtor who is very familiar with short sales.
It is important to know
Today, 1 out of every 10 homeowners in America is behind on mortgage payments. These are tough and frustrating times. Now more than ever, it's important to identify your options. Foreclosure can be avoided, your credit can be saved, and your financial future can be salvaged.
You are not alone out there. Please look into your options!
Good luck!

Depends on the state, but you may be responsible for the difference they net after the eventual sale. Its usually the 2nd mortgages that hackle the most.
