Attention: Owners of Property in Foreclosure

Until the sheriff's sale is finalized, the owner of the property before the foreclosure case remains the owner of the property.
The owner of the property before the foreclosure case, or his or her tenants, may stay in the property until the sheriff's sale and eviction.
Following the sheriff’s sale of the property, there may be funds remaining. The owner of the property before the foreclosure case, or holders of liens on the property, may be entitled to these funds.
