Your question makes no sense as posted. Almost all foreclosures in Georgia are done outside court. Nothing is granted. At the moment of the sale (which is a month or less after you get notice) you must leave. There is no grace period.
If you don't wait too long you may have remedies (such as a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy) that stop foreclosure. See a lawyer immediately.

If a foreclosure has taken place, it would not be wise to stay in the property to test the limits of the last possible minute. There is no turning back when the sheriff or marshall arrives and your property is piled on the street.
