out. Apparently not, as my belongings were removed and the house padlocked while I was away last weekend. Nobody will tell where my belongings were taken. Can they do this ? I never received any communication other than the original posting.

The question is when the foreclosure was completed. After the foreclosure is completed, the bank becomes the owner. The rules are different for each state how personal property is handled during a eviction or change of ownership. For this check with your attorney. Some states allow the property to be placed on the street curb while others require the property be placed in storage for 60 days and then can be sold by the storarge facility.

The first thing I would do is contact the bank and try to get an answer. The next thing would be to contact the number on the posting left at the property or contact the attorney that handled the foreclosure. The last thing would be to have your attorney contact the attorney or bank to get an answer. Your attorney should also understand the eviction of personal property left at the property.

Artist1, unfortunately there are just too many variables here for me to answer this question. I would need to know if your redemption period was up, if the house had been deemed abondoned, etc. I am very sorry to hear that your belongings were taken from you however. I would consult your lawyer.
