LOCAL RULES OF COURT RULE 2.23: PROCEDURE:
Any purchaser shall have thirty (30) days from the date of sale to obtain an examination of title to said real estate. Should examination disclose the title so purchased to be unmarketable by reason of any defect in the proceedings or the existence of any interest not disclosed in either of the certifications described in the Rules of Court, no liability shall be predicated on the certifications, but said purchaser may, within the thirty (30) days period, notify the Court thereof by written motion requesting that said sale be set aside. If the Court, upon hearing thereof, finds said title to be unmarketable, the Court shall refuse to confirm said sale. The Court may, however, fix a reasonable time, not to exceed ninety (90) days, within which any defects may be corrected. WAIVER: A purchaser may waive any part or all of the thirty (30) day period by signing the Confirmation Entry, but no Confirmation Entry not approved by the purchaser shall be filed until said period has expired.
