A friends holiday home got foreclosed and sold at a sheriff sale. As she has a strong emotional attachment to the place due to some family reasons she would like to check that the required public announcements were posted. She didn’t get really realize what was going on due to moving and dealing with other stress factors – which she admits was her fault.
Nevertheless I promised to help with searching into the issue, but am having problems locating foreclosure announcements for which the property already was sold. The sale was beginning of April and the state was Michigan. Anybody has a good suggestion where to look or how to check?
I know it probably isn’t going to change anything, but might calm my friend down.
Also not sure whether this is the best category to post in. If you think not, please suggest better category. Thanks.

Go to the Clerk of the Courts (possibly online) in your county. That’s where foreclosures are filed and they should have a calendar of past sales.

They are required to be published for a number of times in the local newspaper.
I’d start at the county library or contact the newspaper online; odds are you can purchase the ad from them cheap.
