Can prior owners redeem their property after Foreclosure?

Prior owners have no rights to the property after Foreclosure, unless they were a minor or legally incompetent. Minors and people declared legally incompetent have the right to redeem anytime within three years from the date of the foreclosure sale. If they do so, they must pay the amount that the property sold for, plus interest on the tax amount. If there were any improvements made by the new owner, those would also be paid for.
