Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

how much time?

My house has been foreclosed on and is scheduled to be sold on august 21.After the sale,I have been told that I have about 11 days after that to get out.

My question is this,will I still get a three day notice,or can they come at any time and remove me?

I am waiting for an available apartment,and I don't want my kids to see an actual ''throw you out'' eviction.Do they have to give me a written notice after the title is filed or can a sheriff just throw us out?

If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

The title holder will not have to give you a three day notice. That is only for an eviction. They can apply to the court and obtain a Writ of Possession and the sheriff can then dispossess you. Depending on the backlog in your county, this could still take a week or more after the issuance of the writ.
