Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois

Re: Eviction after Foreclosure

The fact that the real estate involved is your residence is helpful to you. However, the issue of your right to possession, and how and when that right is terminated, is complex and dependent on, among other things, whether you were a party to the foreclosure. You should consult a lawyer to determine your rights, including your right to redemption, and any right to possession during the redemption period. A letter from a Real Estate agent asking you to leave, vacate, turn over possession is not in and of itself sufficient to gain possession, unless, of course, you turn over possession voluntarily. I strongly recommend that you seek advice from a lawyer familiar with all of the facts before you change your position.
