Mechanic liens after closing

[Wilson Lee]

Seller disclosed to me he is in a dispute with a contractor. There is currently no lien on the property but I don’t want one to pop up after I buy it.

The building is half vacant due to plumbing issues. The seller was trying to fix the issue. I don’t know too much of the details but he feels that the Contractor did something wrong. And is refusing to pay.

There is no lien on the Property as of now. If contractor places a lien on it before we close, it’s the sellers problem to deal with. I don’t know if I would be responsible for the lien if his contractor filed the lien after we close.

I’m in the state of Alabama, does anyone have any insight?
