If the sheriff’s sale is tomorrow, how long do I have before I have to move out?
The sheriff’s sale it tomorrow but I can’t get the u-haul rental until the following day. I have my 15 year old son with me. We are leaving but I don’t want to get locked out. How long does the law allow for me to be in the home without having to worry? I just need 2 days tops.

I am so sorry for your situation. State law may dictate otherwise (and you should maybe call legal aid or a pro bono (free) attorney in your area) but if you do not leave once the new owners take legal ownership they would have to evict you if you do not leave voluntarily. So you should be fine but you may want to call the lender and negotiate te time in writing to be safe. Good luck.
