[WSBAPT] Sheriff's Deed

[Jim Doran]

Yes.  It was a judicial Sheriff's foreclosure and sale.

Are you saying that in this kind of situation, the bank had to step up and
preserve its rights during the redemption period or they are out of luck
due to the super-priority?

I need to read all this stuff to make sure that I am sure.

Thank you.

Jim
