Foreclosed Homeowners must fight back against illegal evicitions by understanding and knowing your rights if your home has been sold at a foreclosure sale.
Why is this important?
As the number of foreclosures have increased, more and more investors are attending foreclosure sales in order to purchase properties for a reduced price. The Investors are leaving the foreclosure sale and going straight to the foreclosed home in order to serve a 3/90 day notice, to begin the eviction process.
The purchase of the home at a foreclosure sale does not transfer legal ownership of the property. Legal ownership is given only when the Trustee's Deed is recorded in the county in which the foreclosure sale is held. Therefore, investors are jumping the gun with the evictions proceedings, moreover, the courts are not requesting proof of ownership prior to processing eviction papers for the unlawful detainer.
