What to watch out for when buying probate sale property

Hello,

I am interested in a property that is offered as probate sale.

The property is in very bad shape and they are selling as-is. They need all cash offer

But the location is good.

So I am thinking that I can score a deal.

But I wanted to know what to watch out for when buying a probate property.

Do I need to worry about unpaid liens and taxes etc like when we buy property at auctions? Or will I get a clear title?

They have a text in listing "ask city for more info". What do they mean by that?

Googling doesn't answer all my questions, so posting here. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Animesh
