Are you warned before the Sheriff removes possessions from a forclosed home?

Answer 1

I'M NOT A LAWYER, BUT I KNOW A LITTLE AND THEY HAVE TO HAVE A SEARCH WARRENT IN ORDER TO EVEN ENTER YOUR HOUSE TO TAKE ANYTHING. NOW IF YOU LET THEM IN THEY STILL CAN'T TAKE ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO HAVE A VALID REASON FOR DOING SO. IF NOT ANY COP CAN COME INTO THE HOUSE OF ANYONE AND TAKE WHAT THEY WANT. THAT'S WHY A POLICE OFFICER TALKS TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY WHERE AS HE POSES TO A JUDGE THE REASON THEY GAVE HIM THAT WOULD WARRENT A SEARCH IN YOUR HOUSE IMPORTANT FOR A CASE AND IF THAT JUDGE SEE'S IT FIT WILL GRANT THE SEARCH IF NOT THEN IT'S AND ILLEGAL SEARCH IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN WHICH I CAN BE. KNOW FROM A FORECLOSED HOME USUALLY THERE IS ALREADY AN ORDER TO EVACUATE PROPERTY FROM THE HOME TO "FORECLOSE" SOME KIND OF CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT. IF SO THEN I THINK SO BUT YOU HAVE TO GET A PAPER STATING THIS BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. ANYTHING OF VALUE WILL BE TAKEN, BUT I THINK THE POLICE ONLY ARE THERE TO SEE THAT THERE IS NO ONE GETTING IN THE WAY OF THIS PROCEDURE TAKING PLACE. GOOD LUCK BYE BYE.

Many portions of what I could understand in the above, (hard to read, if nothing else), is incorrect or misleading for the circumstances. The house is foreclosed. It isn't yours. The owner wants possession. Your possession is illegal. They can pretty much enter as they want. No search warrant is needed. (They aren't searching for anything, anyway.) Similar to they can enter a property in pursuit of, or upon seeing, an illegal action or criminal. The courts have ordered the sherriff to remove you and your goods and give possession to the owner anyway.

In reality, most sherrifs (or anyone else involved before this too) would rather work with you on what needs to happen than just move your stuff on the street. But, if you think that means be jerked around with by you....(and certainly don't think you can outsmart them (believing they can't do it when your not around, break a lock, too busy/sick, something is illegal and they can't do it, etc., etc.), they do this daily and everyone tries to stay longer and longer), and you would be entirely mistaken.

Fact is, you didn't pay as you had promised to, for some time (that is a very real form of lieing), didn't work to save the property or even make life any easier on anyone else that had to act to preserve their rights and not lose more because of you. (Yup...had you originally tried to work with the mortgage co, the costs would have been lower for all, and you may be still living there by an agreement helping to maintain and sell it). Instead, you made things harder and more expensive, ignoring the notices and attempts to have you willingly give the property up - now to it's actual owners - and there isn't any reason for much sympathy to be given to YOU now. Why not change your why of doing things ( I mean, clearly what you are doing isn't working well) and try doing the honorable thing? Find another place (albeit you may actually now have to pay for it yourself), pack and move there....maybe even clean up after yourself as you leave. Quit being a burden on everyone else...even for one day more.

WAKE UP. You have been given notice about what will happen....that is what all those things about not paying your debts and mortgage,the whole foreclosure, opportunity to respond to court letters, etc., are about. YOUR ON NOTICE...the property may be foreclosed and your right to live there ended. People/Places gave you a chance to have the home that you wanted....they gave you loans and acted on your promises....and you screwed them...what do you think they should give you now?
