You didn’t give many specifics. Before answering, an attorney would need to have some of these specifics answered:
1) What was the basis for the sheriff’s sale?
a) non-payment of taxes?
b) foreclosure of a mortgage?
c) foreclosure of some other type of lein?
Depending on what the basis is for the sale will determine how long you have before they can start an action for possession. The laws of Ohio will also govern, and for specifics, you MUST consult an Ohio attorney.
Generally, there is a redemption period after a sheriff’s sale, in which you can pay the total judgment, including all fees and costs, and redeem the property. However, the redemption period varies from state to state and also varies depending on the facts of a situation.
You need to consult with an attorney licensed in Ohio. For a referral, contact your state or local bar association.
