In a foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the owner can receive “capital gain or loss” as in any other sale of real property (i.e., be subject to capital gains taxation or receive a credit for a capital loss). Additionally, the owner can receive “forgiveness of debt” income.

Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.36.)
In California, the previous owner has a time window of 60 days post-foreclosure sale to clear their belongings from the property. If this timeline elapses without the removal of their belongings, the new owner has the right to dispose of them as they see fit.
