How much time ?

[lesegrubb30]

What is the name of your state?Pa

Ok .. Here is the deal .. My husbands aunt got foreclosed on .. house went to sherriff sale on Jan 21 2005.. noone bid and the house then returned back to the mortgage company(wells fargo) . So I contact local free attorney to ask for time to find place to live.. They contact Well's attorney who in turn says NO WAY and that we have a total of 3 weeks before papers are complete and sherriff shows at the door.. Now I am seeing different things.. some say we will get 3 to 5 days to vacate others say 30 days I say wtf.. it is winter and there are kids involved ..dont they care??
Does anyone actually know how long someone is given to vacate under conditions such as these? Aunt did try to file Bankruptsy.. however attorney claimed she did not make enough money to file since she also owes IRS and that would need to be in the bankruptsy. Either way home is no longer hers.. So also here is another question and wonder if this is even possible. What if I contact the mortgage company and offer to buy home from them ? Is that something that can be done.. it surely isnt worth what the aunt owed .. however fixed up ... there is a heck of alot of equity to come out of this home!! at this point any suggestion is better then thinking we will be homeless in a matter of 3weeks. What can an individual do to purchase a property from a mortgage company if the property is not listed ??? And recently forclosed.. Wells sent letter that they anticipate HUD taking the home >> this was an FHA loan ..guess some questions may be for another area.. but the main question is HOW long does it really take for the notice to vacate be completed and how much time does one usually get to vacate?? 3 to 5 days or more ??
