What Documents will the purchaser receive from the Sheriff?
When personal property is sold, the successful bidder will receive a receipt for the payment of his bid; a release which will be directed to the agency, person or party having possession of the property, which authorizes the release of the property to the purchaser; and a certificate of sale, which transfers the judgment debtor’s interest in and to the property, to the purchaser. Accompanying the certificate of sale will be a copy of the execution, which is the legal instrument authorizing & directing the levy and sale. When real property is sold, the purchaser will receive a receipt for the payment of the bid price, a Sheriff’s Deed and the several documents attesting to procedure.
