§ 60-504 Execution sale.

If you lose a property in a court-ordered sale (like after a court judgment against you), there's a strict time limit on trying to get that property back through a lawsuit. You have five years from the date the new deed is officially recorded to file a claim to recover the property.

This time limit applies to the original person who owed the debt, their heirs, or anyone else who later claims rights to the property through that person. Once five years pass after the deed is recorded, the law says you can no longer sue to get the property back, even if you believe you have a valid claim.

This rule exists to give buyers of these properties peace of mind. After five years, they can be confident the sale is final and no one can come back later to challenge their ownership. If you think a property sale was unfair or improper, you need to act quickly, well within this five-year window, to protect your rights.
