Can I Access My Home after a Foreclosure Sale?

When you are struggling financially and are having trouble making your mortgage payment, you may be at risk of losing your home to foreclosure. Beyond the devastating loss of one’s home, having a foreclosure on your record can be a significant obstacle to future loan or credit requests and could disqualify you from consideration for some forms of employment. If you are facing possible foreclosure, it is important to understand the process so you can take appropriate action.

It is common for people to be concerned about their ability to access a property after a foreclosure sale. For information regarding this and any other foreclosure-related matters, contact the Boca Raton foreclosure defense attorneys of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A., by calling 561-353-2800.

Your Home after a Foreclosure Sale

Each foreclosure case is different and the length of time that you will have access to your home after a foreclosure sale will vary from case to case. Even if you have received a notice of foreclosure, you still own the property until the successful bidder receives the Certificate of Title after the auction.

In the majority of cases, the winning bidder will not receive the Certificate of Title for a few days after the auction. You can usually learn when the new owner of the home received the title by reading the court docket of your foreclosure case. If your locks are changed before the winning bidder receives the title, you can legally change them back so you can retrieve your personal property inside.
