purchase, sufficient to convey title pursuant to 735 ILCS l5-l509(a).

D.

be entitled to possession of the above-described real estate on the 31st day after

On the 31st day after entry of this order, the defendant mortgagor and all
persons claiming through the defendant mortgagor shall have removed
themselves and their belongings and property from this mortgaged real
