@Wayne Brooks, @Caleb Heimsoth Ok sounds good i appreciate all your guys knowledge. We were excited and thought hopefully it would be simple and go smoothly.
Oh would you gentleman give you your opinion on what this means;
"If said occupant fail to surrender possession of the subject property within 30 days of the date of this order, then after the 30 days from entry of this order, The sheriff of County is directed to eject and remove said occupant from said property"
Does this mean persons and or material things? Or just persons.

Carson Wilcox yes I did get a copy of what was sent to the owner and it stated you must vacate property thirty days from posted dated, which is today. If not we meaning my wife and I have rights to have sheriff come and evict you.
So being a holiday weekend I will not be able to get anywhere until Tuesday. I suppose I can’t change locks and let her contact me?
We did talk with the lady upstairs. She was nervous we were kicking her out and had no place to go. She informed us that she already paid the other owner June’s rent, which I kind of figured it would happen. I’ll eat that. She’s 81 probably lives on a fixed income.

Caleb Heimsoth well that’s the thing. Is states you must vacate property and if not we have the rights to have sheriff come and escort you.
So do I have to give a 7 day or can I just change locks and let her contact us.
We have had some many answers on both sides. Of course it’s a holiday weekend and will not be able to go down to sheriffs civil and litigation until Tuesday.
Then now it’s past the 30 is that mean o have to start over.

Well we went to the duplex we won at auction. Being first time we didn’t no what to aspect. We met the upper unit tenant which has been there for 20 plus years. Of course she paid the owner for June’s rent.
Lower unit is where the owner lives or lived. She had a court order to evict in 30 days. Today is that 30th day. Lock smith entered common area. We saw through window that everything of hers is still in there.
The upper tenant took us down to basement and was able to see in a sunroom area and nothing has moved. Furniture, computer clothes. Everything you can image.
Now I guess we should have brought sheriff with us. We assumed it was empty and no issues. We are now being told technically we need them to come and remove her. Even though she had her 30 eviction.
So now Tuesday we will have to contact sheriff and see what will happen. Hopefully I do not have to go through another 30 days.
Anyone’s thoughts on whether we can access and change locks or not.

Wayne Brooks Mike McCarthy , sorry I did not explain good enough. We purchased this through a lawyers office. We had to wait 6 weeks for it to go in front of a judge and deem it a good sale. We received the deed and then recorded it with city. Once it clear the judge, he then gave the owner a 30 day eviction which puts us at this Saturday.
I actually just talked with an assistant who is handling our case and she was going to send me over the eviction letter that the owner received.
First time doing it this way.
Hopefully thing will be smooth.

so we finally get possession of our duplex we won at auction. legally, the company we went through to get deed said, we cannot talk to anyone or enter the property until the 30 day eviction is up. so this Saturday is the day the we willl go over and get a locksmith to enter.
my wife found out from neighbor there is a 20 year long tenant upstairs but the owner lived in lower unit. we are hoping we keep upper tenant and judge just gave 30 days to owner. My wife drove by today and saw a lady entering upper unit so it seems shes still there.
I am hoping owner is gone and has left peacfully with no damage, if she has not left how should we handle it?
we thought of going there and ringing door bell, no answer have locksmith open. If she is there i guess politely say, oh im sorry we were told this would be vacant today? what is your thoughts
I guess worst case call the sheriff and arrange a boot.
we do not plan on keeping owner, figured if she cant keep up with mortage, why would she pay rent on time

Hunter Fitch congrats. we too won our auction 7 weeks ago. We received our deed last week. We had to record it with the city, changed water and sewer over. Judge gave them 30 day eviction which will be up on the 26th. We cannot legally, according to the company who held deed. cannot be in contact or on property until then.
Probably depends on city and state.
