It depends on who buys the property. However, you should have already made your plans to move out. If you have a lot of stuff, start earlier. When we bought a short sale house, they had three days after closing. They were busy until midnight of the last night and had to leave things behind. Plan ahead; it is not the buyer's fault that you have to move.

I been told that there is an eviction process, when I called my county sheriff in St Joseph County, Indiana she (whoever she was) answered the phone and said "it depends on who buy the property" What the heck does that mean? I am surely going to my sheriff sale to see who is stupid enough to buy by house for cash ("they" are not going to be able to sell it will have to pay taxes and insurace on it utilities ETC. ETC, My advice is to move all the stuff you want to take out of the house then stay in the house

In the state of Indiana the purchaser of property at any kind of Trustee Sale (Sheriff, Tax SAle, Commissioner's Sale etc) should send an unlawful detainer notice (aka Eviction) to the property resident, giving said resident 3 days to quit the property. Failure to leave in 3 days will result in filing an eviction claim with the Court. The Court will order the eviction, assuming the sale was valid. This is a VERY short hearing, the ONLY defense you can present is the sale was invalid (ie you did pay your taxes, you did pay your mortgage). The Court does not care a fig about your aging Aunt Martha, loosing your job etc. IF you claim the sale was invalid remember the County Attorney is going to defend the sale you better have a whole lot of irrefutable documentation. The Court will set a specific day to leave the property (2 to 30 days), most likely order you to pay rent from day of sale to day of leaving. Failure to leave the property by the set date will result in the Sheriff removing you, placing whatever you leave in storage (charging you a fee for that). You can be charged with a crime (Trespasing, Contempt of Court and Resisting).

Time frame from first notice to day you leave runs 6 weeks to 6 months. In Indiana it is about 10 weeks.

Good luck.

Will you be notified when to move after sheriffs sale?

If you cannot pay the creditor and have not made any arrangements with the creditor to remain on the property then you should be prepared to vacate the premises immediately. As soon as the sale takes place there is a new owner and the property is no longer yours. There can be problems with liability and insurance coverage from that moment on and it is not in the buyer's interest that you remain on their property, uninsured.
