Meet the Master Commissioner

Matthew C. Tierney

Appointed by the Daviess Circuit Court, the Master Commissioner is a neutral officer of the Court who conducts judicial sales of real estate and assists the Court with lien enforcement and related litigation in Daviess County.

The Master Commissioner is an unbiased party to these legal actions and cannot provide legal advice. We recommend that bidders, owners and lien holders consult a qualified real estate attorney.

What the office does

Neutral, court-appointed, and here to keep the process orderly

When the Circuit Court orders a property sold, the office schedules the sale, publishes the required notice, conducts the public auction, prepares the purchaser’s bond and reports the sale to the Court for confirmation.

The office does not have the authority to stop, delay or cancel a sale except on order of the Court or at the request of the attorney who filed the foreclosure, and cannot give legal advice to bidders, owners or lien holders.
