Best Answer

The title is in the name of the person who purchased it at the foreclosure sale. Once the foreclosure deed is recorded the debtor has no right whatsoever to occupy the property. The new owner has no relationship or obligations to the debtor. The person who has had their rights to the property foreclosed has had abundant notice of the foreclosure. They should make arrangements to move out prior to the sale and make arrangements to remove their personal property before the sale. Once that deed is recorded they are trespassing if they enter the property unless the new owner has made an arrangement with them, in writing.

Is furniture included in a foreclosure?

Not as a general rule. What the prior owner leaves or takes depends greatly on their needs and attitude at the time of foreclosure. If they left under ideal circumstances they will have taken all furniture and left all fixtures (anything attached to the home) and cleaned out all garbage and refuse. If they left under less than ideal circumstances, prior owners have been known to leave massive amounts of garbage and old furniture, and even remove or destroy fixtures. It is always possible to negotiate with a prior owner to take or leave certain items if they are still in the home when the new ownership is official.
