OT: How are foreclosure papers served?

Posted by Master Betty on October 24, 2009, 11:47 am

The sheriff's office has visited my neighbor twice in the last couple of
years. Last one was yesterday. Do deputies serve the papers?

I'd hate to lose him as a neighbor. It's taken me years to train him. :-)

Generally they serve court papers so it sounds like a good
possibilility. Although some states allow foreclosure (but not eviction)
to be mailed. They also serve papers about taxes unpaid, arrest
warrants, general things about civil suits, if you "forget" to show up
for jury duty.
If they let them take home company cars, it could be anything. Maybe
the cop's daughter and the neighbor's is in the same Brownie Troop and
he is helping plot cookie sales.
I had a neighbor all worried about me because of the State Police car
that would show up in my driveway every few months. They were much less
concerned when I introduced my Brother-in-Law the Trooper (g).

When I was in high school a few of my friends had some worries about
me because I was being seen in a sheriff's department vehicle. Some
thought I was a narc. This only happened during duck season.

From what I see around here the notice of foreclosure is taped to the
door, the actual "notice to vacate" is hand delivered. The next day
(24-48 hours) they carry your stuff out to the curb. This is not the
same as eviction.
