Wording at the time of contingency removal

[Jeff Cliff]

Hello,

What all should I consider at the time of contingency removal for a house requiring major rehab and the owner has passed away, where an attorney who is a trustee is dealing with the sale.

I certainly do not want to pay any back taxes, utility bills or penalties that maybe owed by the current seller and I also want to protect myself from any such future claims for the events that occurred before title transfer.

Thanks in advance for your response.
