My property was foreclosed. Someone called me and claimed she is new owner and move me out. How long can I stay on the property?

When you lose your home in a foreclosure sale or in some states called a Sheriff sale, you become a tenant. Depending on the laws of your state, will determine how long and by what procedure the person who bought your home in the foreclosure sale has to get you out. Generally all you need to do is look up online what the eviction process in your state is and that will tell you how long it will be before you will be forced to leave. The new owner will have to go through the entire eviction process. In some states that only takes a couple weeks and others that takes several months to half a year. I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.
