To evict or not to evict after foreclosure occupied sale, Chicago

Hello everyone!

So I'm closing on my 3rd property situated in Chicago in the next couple of weeks. This property is an REO but will be transferred to me as an occupied property. I've drove by the property and it seem to be unoccupied; the grass is getting tall, no lights at night, no cars in driveway, no furniture visible thru the windows etc.

Based on the foreclosure papers that I revived the judge has approved the sale and has granted an ORDER FOR POSSESSION to the bank. The question is: do I still have to file an eviction after the property is deeded to me or can I just get inside the home and change the keys? I know I should be talking to a lawyer about this but I will wait to contact a lawyer until I close on this property just in case the deal falls through.
