Lien on Auction House Question

Stephanie G.
Posted

I'm bidding on a house later this week, it's a courthouse foreclosure trustee auction. I ran a title search so there wouldn't be any surprises. The house has a lien from Capital One for almost $5,000. My question is will I definitely have to pay that lien off during the closing process?

The owner that was foreclosed upon is deceased. Does his being dead influence the situation at all regarding the lien from Capital One?

I'm going to buy the house either way (if I win)... but I really like my money and was curious about the lien process.
