Q. Hello... I live in the state of MD. My house went to auction on 12/15 and was returned to the bank. How soon can I expect the sheriff to show up at my door? I live in Prince George's County. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.
A. When the Sheriff does knock on your door, it will be to serve a Writ of Possession. Once the Writ is served, an Order of Possession is given by the Court to the Sheriff who then schedules the eviction.
Evictions can't take place if the temperature is below 32, or if it is raining. In some counties, a show cause hearing is required. You (and anyone with questions about foreclosure, or eviction proceedings) should contact your local Legal Services Corporation, or Society for Preservation of Continued Homeownership
