After the sale, what happens prior to the Sheriff's (RCPD) issuing a deed for the property?

After the sale the following events occur prior to the deed being issued:

  1. Return is filed with the clerk of the court.
  2. The clerk of the Riley County District Court files the return of service on the Order of Sale.
  3. An order confirming the sale will be generated, usually by the plaintiff's attorney and signed by a Judge. This order may contain a redemption period (usually around 90 days) but can be longer. Redemption periods rights can also be rejected upon order of the court.
  4. Following the receipt of the order confirming the sale, the Sheriff (RCPD) will sign a Certificate of Purchase which states the name, the length of the redemption period if any and the amount of the winning bid. These documents will be sent to the plaintiff's attorney unless the winning bidder is a third party, in which case the Certificate of Purchase will be given to them.
  5. At the end of the redemption period the attorney representing the plaintiff will send the Deed to the Sheriff (RCPD).
  6. This Deed will then be signed and given/mailed to the winning bidder.
