Re: Possession after Foreclosure
If there was a valid foreclosure, you have no defenses to a claim for possession by the purchaser. You do not own it anymore and have to leave. However, filing bankruptcy can buy you a small amount of time to get out so that your stuff is not thrown out on the street. If you need to do this, see a lawyer immediately.
