The Plaintiff in the case may cancel or adjourn a Sheriff's Sale. Typical reasons for doing so include settlement or bankruptcy.
Each adjournment can take up to 30 days, which means a sale could end up taking months longer than originally planned. Fortunately, a law was passed in 2019 that ensures there is only a maximum of five adjournments during a sheriff sale.
