Courthouse steps - Divorce
I am interested in purchasing a property at the courthouse steps. The only mortgage I have found is in the name of Ms. XYZ recorded in 2009 but there is also a special warranty deed where Ms. XYZ assigns 1/2 interest in 2010 to Mr. ABC (new husband). The couple is now divorcing and the property is to be auctioned off as a result of nonpayment. The Notice of Trustee's Sale only lists Ms. XYZ and the mortgage taken out in 2009.
My question is if I win the property does Mr. ABC have any claim to the property based on the Special Warranty deed?
