Foreclosure on Homesearch.com
This is in Pennsylvania.
There is a foreclosure property for auction on homesearch.com
Property is currently vacant.
Auction says "Buyer will receive a Special Warranty Deed (SWD) or equivalent"
Current ownership and title is in the name of the bank (Wells Fargo).
Does a Special Warranty Deed mean that any previous liens, judgements against the property now become the responsibility of the new owner? Say if I were to win the auction and get an acceptance from the bank on my bid/offer, do I become responsible for it?
Can anyone shed some light on how SWDs work, especially in PA?
Thanks much!
