I understand that it is wise to contact a lawyer but the woman that owns the home has died and her son just wants to give it up. He is letting me stay til I find a place. Just found out that the mortgage has not been paid for months. Want to know how long from NOD till I have to leave
A: You may remain in the home up and until your local county sheriff's office executes or post a writ of possession issued from the clerk's office on the front door of the property. This notice will provide you with 24 hours time until which to pack up all your personal belongings and leave the property. Pay special attention to any letters that will arrive in the mail from attorneys representing the bank indicating a date when a hearing by the plaintiff for issuance of the writ of possession is to take place in court. This should give you a better timetable as to when to begin preparation on leaving. Hope this helps and best of luck to you.
