Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New Jersey

sheriff's sale

once a property has gone and been sold at a sheriff's sale, what legal remedy does the previous owner have to keep possession of that property.

also the previous lender was sued and a settlement has been reached but the manner of disbursments haven't been determined how can i stop the eviction from the my property until this matter has been resoveled. my contention is that if the original lender is wrong then the assignee's are wrong

thanks

Re: sheriff's sale

Please be advised that I have not been retained to represent you and I am basing this response on the limited amount of information supplied. However, if the property has been sold at sheriff's sale it is the same as if it was sold in a normal fashion. The new owner has all the rights of an owner and the previous owner has no more rights in the property. If there is an eviction pending based on mistakes of someone else, you will need to petiton the Court to stay the eviction proceedings. I would need more facts in order to properly assist you and if you wish to discuss this matter in greater detail, you can contact me at 908-537-7975.

Good Luck!
