Special Episode 6, Short 4
After a foreclosure is completed, a homeowner is not immediately removed from the property. A formal notice period is given, often 30, 60, or 90 days depending on the situation. Once that time expires, the new owner or bank must file an eviction case in court to gain possession.

The eviction process itself takes additional time based on the court schedule, which can range from weeks to longer depending on delays in the system.
Banks do not kick you out the moment they take the house - Many owners get a written notice that gives them 30, 60 or 90 days to move.
This clock starts once the sale is official — After these days pass, the bank or the new buyer files a case in court to legally remove anyone still living there.
Judges then set a date for a hearing. Courts are often busy — this step adds multiple weeks or even months to the timeline. Only a sheriff can physically force someone to leave after the court order is final.
