When will I need to leave my residence?

You only have to vacate your home at the very end of the property seizure process. Once the auction date takes place, there is then a 10-day waiting period before the ownership of the property transfers to the highest bidder. That highest bidder, often the lending institution itself, can then dispatch a law enforcement officer to post an order of eviction on the premises, typically granting the occupants between 24 and 48 hours to depart. However, there may be methods to halt a property seizure auction date. This frequently hinges on the duration of the case and the existence of strong defenses against the property seizure lawsuit. The first step in the process is to have the complaint and all relevant documents in the property seizure proceeding examined.
