Evictions After Foreclosure for Lenders, Trustees and REO Holders
The sale is not the end of the file. Tatman Legal serves the post-sale notice, files the unlawful detainer or forcible detainer, and obtains the writ of possession so the property can be listed. We represent the purchaser at sale, the foreclosing lender, HUD after a commissioner sale, and the REO holder, and we handle cash-for-keys where it is faster than trial.

Questions Lenders Ask
How long does a California post-foreclosure eviction take?
An uncontested case against the former owner is typically 30 to 45 days from filing to lockout. A contested case, or a bona fide tenant, runs 90 days or longer.
Do you handle tenants and occupants under the Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act?
Yes, including the 90-day notice and lease review.
Can you evict after a HUD commissioner sale?
Yes, in Arizona, California, Oregon, Texas and Washington. See our HUD foreclosure commissioner page.
Do you offer cash for keys?
Yes. We negotiate and document the move-out agreement when it will return possession faster than a contested trial.
