Foreclosure Eviction and Appeal
I purchased a home at a foreclosure auction in Brooklyn, NY. The owners/defendants filed a motion to dismiss due to improper service. They lost the motion and are appealing this decision as well as the foreclosure action. The bank will defend the appeal. I plan to close and evict them in the near future. I have the following questions: 1) If the owners/defendants were to win on appeal, what would the consequences be (assuming I have evicted them by the time the appeal get decided)? Would the court order the property be given back to the defendants? Or, would I remain in the house and have to pay them the value of the house? Or, would I stay in the house, but the bank would have to pay them the value of the house? 2) Are there any problems in the eviction? There are about 10+ people living in the house, including the 75 year old mother/co-owner. Would the court prevent an eviction while the appeal is pending? Or, would a court prevent an eviction due to the elderly mother or other possibly disabled persons living there?

If they win the appeal due to improper service, then they will keep the home. You will not have a chance to evict them.
