Sheriff Sale information posted in the newspaper
Hi,
On the Sheriff Sale paperwork it reads:
Name of a Bank
vs
Person's name
Next to the person's name it reads:
et al.
example:
Bank One
vs.
John Doe, et al.
Can you explain what et al. means.
Thank you very much.
House2house
et al means "and others"
Thank you very much!!!!
Would those "others" be lien holders? Does this mean that there are potientially multiple liens on the property?
It means that there may be other people who have interests in the property, but it doesn't have to be a leinholder. It could be another person who is one the deed. For example, if a man buys a home and gets a loan under his name, then gets married and adds his wife to the deed, she has an interest in the property. You will have to review the actual documents to find out.
