A sale needs a state property-transfer form, filed with the county auditor for property-tax records. The filing fee is usually $20, and some transfers are exempt. Recording and other closing charges are separate, and the closing professional handles the paperwork. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate.

You can ask about the property before every estate paper is gathered, but the person signing and that person’s authority need to be clear before closing. Bring any estate appointment and deed you have; the estate representative, attorney, and title company can identify what else is needed. See the Lafayette inherited-property page for more on that situation.

You may still have time before the sheriff's sale. Indiana mortgage foreclosures go through court. Before the sale, an owner can redeem the property by paying the full judgment, interest, and costs through the clerk or sheriff, depending on the stage of the case. Paying only overdue installments is not the same thing. A sale needs to close and resolve the debt in time, so get the actual payoff and sheriff's-sale date checked promptly. Selling before foreclosure may help protect any equity you have. Our agreement of sale will often get a sheriff's sale postponed so we can close. Signing alone doesn't postpone it automatically; we use the agreement to ask for the postponement, and it works more often than people think.

Start with the property address, what you know about its condition and occupancy, and the timing you are working with. A deed, estate paper, lease, payoff, tax notice, lien notice, or court paper may help answer a follow-up question, but you can call before you have everything gathered.
