Public records Throughout the foreclosure process, various legal notices must be filed in your County Recorder's Office. This information is public record and available to anyone. Just visit your county's office and you can search for a Notice of Default (NOD), lis pendens or Notice of Sale.
You have the right to redeem the home at any time after the sale, up until the sale is confirmed. (Ohio Rev. Code § 2329.33). After the sheriff's sale, the sheriff has up to 60 days to inform the court that the sale took place.
A few potential ways to stop a foreclosure and keep your home include reinstating the loan, redeeming the property before the sale or for a short period after the sale, or filing for bankruptcy. Working out a loss mitigation option, like a loan modification, will also stop a foreclosure.
The most important deadline in the process is 28 days after you receive the foreclosure complaint. You must file an “answer,” or a response to your lender's claims in 28 days. Otherwise, the court will assume that you agree with everything your lender is saying and they will win the case.
