What is a Confirmation of Sale?

The Confirmation of Sale (Confirmation) is the court order that is filed after the Sheriff Sale by the plaintiff’s attorney.  This is the order that tells the Sheriff’s Office how the title/name is to be listed on the Sheriff’s Deed and how the purchase price monies are to be disbursed.  It also awards a Writ of Possession to the buyer so the buyer can later take possession of the property.  The Confirmation will also list the liens on the property that get released.

The plaintiff’s attorney is responsible to file this Confirmation of Sale with the court and judge within 30 days following the sale date.
