After winning auction, find out it's still in foreclosure

[Michael Greer]

She won the property at sheriff's sale.

She is trying to close and the other title company tells her the foreclosure process is still ongoing. She has about 3 more months to go (could be more or less) before Plaintiff will be in a position to disburse/record.

Is there a typical process on how these go?

Not sure what happens next. 

Thanks in advance,

Something doesn’t seem right

Yes you win at sheriffs sale but the sheriff and courts need to finalize the funds and who gets what and then issue the deed

Yes in some places this can take months

We had one in PG county Maryland that took 14 months for them to issue the sheriffs deed
