Hello Bigger Pockets Family,

I have a question regarding evictions in cook county Illinois. I recently purchased a property at the Judicial auction. I received a court order with the following title," ORDER APPROVING REPORT OF SALE AND DISTRIBUTION, CONFIRMING SALE, AND ORDER OF POSSESSION. I'm mostly curious about the paragraph regarding possession as it reads," The successful bidder is entitled to and shall have possession of the subject property as of 60 days after the entry of this order against (defendant's names), without further order of the court, as provided in 735 ILCS 5/15-1701; That the sheriff of Cook County is directed to evict and dispossess: (defendants names) at the subject property (property address). Does this mean I do not have to go through the standard eviction process? Should I get a head start on the eviction process in case the occupant does not leave after 60 days? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
