sheriff's sale
A sheriff's sale is a public auction held by a local law enforcement agency, usually prompted by a court order or judgement, to sell property that has been seized or repossessed in order to satisfy a debt or judgement. These sales often pertain to foreclosed homes or defaulted loan properties, but they may also include other types of assets, such as vehicles or valuable items. The proceeds from the auction are typically used to pay off the debt owed by the original owner.
