A person is permitted to reside in the house until the entire foreclosure action is completed.<br \/>\nTypically, if the balance due on the loan is more than the fair market value of the property, the house will not be sold at sheriff\u2019s sale and the mortgage company will take back the property. This means that the county sheriff\u2019s office will convey the property to the mortgage company by creating a deed that puts the real estate in the name of the mortgage company.<br \/>\nIf the homeowner or renter has vacated the property at the time of the sale, than the mortgage company forwards the documents to the county sheriff, who insures that the property is vacant. However, if the homeowner or renter continues to possess the property, after the sheriff\u2019s sale, the mortgage company must submit a writ of eviction to the court, which is entered and returned to their lawyers. Thereafter, their attorneys forward the writ to the county sheriff, who ultimately schedules the eviction with a date and notice. The approximate time from the sheriff\u2019s sale to the eviction takes approximately 2 to 3 months, depending on the county and work load.<br \/>\nPlease do not rely on the information in this blog. If you are in a similar situation, I strongly advise that you seek the counsel of an experienced attorney.<br \/>\nThe Law Offices of Robert Manchel handles foreclosure resolution matters and bankruptcy in New Jersey.
