What is Foreclosure Auction Registration Form – Charleston County, SC?
The Foreclosure Auction Registration Form, printed on the PDF as the Charleston County Foreclosure Auction Bidder Registration Form, is the document a person completes to be registered with the Charleston County Master In Equity before attending a foreclosure auction.\n\nThe form collects the bidder's name, mailing address, city, state, ZIP code, phone number and email, plus a signature. By signing, the registrant agrees to the terms within the Master in Equity Sale Bidder Instruction Sheet. A copy of a valid government-issued photo ID goes with the form.\n\nRegistration is a one-time step: the form states that it only needs to be submitted once to attend all future auctions. It is not a bid and does not describe any particular property. The form points bidders to the Bidding on Foreclosure tab of the Master In Equity's website for more information on the foreclosure process and compliance requirements, including penalties for failure to comply with bids.\n\nThe Master In Equity lists many other court documents on its forms page, such as the Summons, the Lis Pendens and the Complaint for Foreclosure of Mortgage. Those are filed in foreclosure cases; this registration form is only for attending the auctions.
