In most states yes it can. This can only be done after due process according to state laws where the debtor lives has been followed. Meaning a lawsuit filed and won, a writ of judgment granted and the judgment executed as a lien. There can be a few exceptions, pertaining mainly to married couples and whether it is a joint debt.

My mobile home is on some else's land If that land is foreclosed on does my home become part of the foreclosure?

Not unless the mobile home was part of the collateral offered for the loan that is in default or. For example, if the lender gave money to a borrower and secured a lien against land, then you placed the mobile home on the property, the mobile home is your property and was not part of the defaulted loan. You will be required to vacate the land, but should be able to take the mobile home assuming it belongs to you. Generally, true mobile homes are not real estate, they are personal property. A mobile home can become real estate if it is built after the 1970s, has a HUD sticker, is on a foundation and the owner pays property taxes. If this occured and was owned by person who defaulted on the loan, it might be part of defaulted loan. There may be a trustee of record for the foreclosure, if you are unsure about your rights you may contact them or an attorney for information
