Q: My home sold to third party in Nov 2018 at Sheriff sale. When do the new owners get the deed. They put down 44% at sale.

My home was foreclosed in Aug 2018 then sold to Third Party at Sheriff sale in November 2018. When do the new owners take over the deed. I have moved out and turned utilities off in my name. I filed bankrupty and it was discharged back in Jan so not liable for money owed on house.

I simply want to know when they new owners get the deed and if I will receive papers releasing me from lien. etc.
