Description: A Virginia Complaint or Petition by Purchaser Against Possessor of Real Property After a Foreclosure Sale Pursuant to a Deed of Trust is a legal recourse available to a purchaser who has obtained ownership of a property through a foreclosure sale. This legal action is taken against individuals or entities who are unlawfully possessing the property after the foreclosure sale. In Virginia, there are different types of Complaints or Petitions that can be filed by a purchaser against the possessor of real property after a foreclosure sale. These types may include: 1. Complaint for Unlawful Detained: This type of complaint is filed when the possessor refuses to vacate the property despite the purchaser's lawful ownership after the foreclosure sale. The purpose of this complaint is to seek a court order, also known as a writ of possession, which requires the possessor to vacate the property. 2. Complaint for Trespass: In situations where the possessor not only refuses to vacate the property but continues to unlawfully occupy it, the purchaser may file a complaint for trespass. This legal action aims to obtain an injunction order from the court, prohibiting the possessor from continuing their unauthorized presence on the property. 3. Complaint for Quiet Title: If the purchaser faces a dispute regarding the rightful ownership of the property after the foreclosure sale, a complaint for quiet title can be filed. This type of complaint seeks a court judgment declaring the purchaser as the legal owner of the property and extinguishing any competing claims or clouds on the title. 4. Petition for Enactment: When the possessor of the property is not a tenant, but rather an individual who unlawfully obtained possession after the foreclosure sale, the purchaser may file a petition for enactment. This legal action aims to regain possession of the property by requiring the possessor's removal through a court order. These complaints or petitions usually involve complex legal procedures, and it is recommended that purchasers seeking to file them consult with an attorney experienced in real estate and foreclosure laws in Virginia. By doing so, they can ensure they follow the proper legal process and maximize their chances of a favorable outcome in their case.
