Your personal belongings could be impounded or confiscated if your property is foreclosed on, you get evicted and you don’t leave before the Sheriff comes. This is how it works: After foreclosure, your lender or a new owner may file for eviction if you’re still on the property. Like foreclosure, the eviction process varies by state and location, but in general, the court must order evictions. If the court orders the eviction, you’ll receive an eviction notice. From that point, you have a certain amount of time to pack your belongings and leave the property.For instance, in Michigan, that period is 10 days. You might be able to negotiate for longer. If you don’t move out by the time on the notice, the Sheriff will come and forcibly remove you and your belongings from the property.
