For any car that is impounded (not available for release without a police OK) or stored (available for release to the registered owner without a police OK), a written or verbal notice must be given to the party from whom it was taken. If no verbal notice of the vehicle was given to the person who had custody of the vehicle at the time of impound/storage - a notice must be mailed(15-20 days) to the last registered owner and legal owner (loan holder). If the storage fees and any back DMV fees (if any) are not paid within generally 30 days, the tow company may sell the car for lien fees. Notice of the impending sale is to be sent to the registered and legal owners prior to the transfer of title due to the lien sale.
The best thing to do - is visit the auction rooms regularly. They usually have 'viewing days' shortly before a sale is due to take place, so prospective buyers can see what's on offer. Additionally, an auction house may have a notification system where you can register your contact details, and the type of item you're interested in. They will usually contact you when the item comes into the saleroom.
You are not able to purchase a home prior to auction unless the auctioneer and/or auction company has provisions with the seller to permit such a sale.
Have you ________ to us regarding this issue before?
it is all different from states, to counties to city laws
Different states have different laws on this issue. In some states, if the police have the car on hold, the impound yard cant charge storage fees until after the hold has been taken off. (I dont understand why the police would hold it for 30 days, that's not reasonable) But, the impound yard should notify the last registered owner via certified mail letting them know the total charges and giving them 30 day to pay and pick up the vehicle. After that, they will need to take the paperwork to the magistrate for a magistrate title. That can take up to 30-45 days, in which time you can still get the vehicle if you pay the charges. After that, the impound yard will get the magistrate title and can sell the vehicle.
You should bring your financial statement and tax forms before going to such auction
Depending on the reason it was impounded makes a difference. I have has this experience before. They were busted for driving without insurance and my car was impounded. I had to get proof of insurace and go to the police station where it was impounded from show them my proof of insurance and then they handed me a release to get my car from impoundment. Then I had to take the release to the yard and then I was able to get it out. Depending on where you are from can make all the difference in the world also. i would say yes if you take in documents proving that the car belongs to you eg insurance, log book (pink slip), and documents proving who you are eg photo id and prof of address.
Not all states require a repossession notification to be sent. Some require only that law enforcement be notified. Some states do not even require this much. Once the vehicle is repossessed in these states that have no requirement of notification, it is assumed that you know the reason your car is not where you left it the night before. This is deemed notification enough.
A POA usually doesn't give permission to auction off possessions before a person dies. There might be a Will involved or a relative is supposed to get a certain item. The only reason to auction is if the person is in a rest home or living somewhere else.
You have to unlock one and quickly choose the "Use Title" button on the notification before it disappears
Amazing
Essentially no cleaning is required unless there is some sort of agreement between the lender and the homeowner which the homeowner has agreed to. Beyond that the only requiement is to clear out belongings before the home is auction. The type of cleaning needed to auction foreclosed homes depends on the amount one expects to get at auction. A home can be auctioned “as-is”, but will not get a good price. Unfortunately, in this market simply cleaning a home will not guarantee a better price at auction.
