All sales are made subject to all liens and encumbrances which become effective prior to the judgment or execution lien under which the sale is being held.
A purchaser can acquire only the interest the judgment debtor possessed in the property when the lien became effective.
The purchaser then becomes responsible to pay the prior liens if he wishes to retain possession and ownership of the property.
The rule of “caveat emptor,” or let the buyer beware, applies to all purchasers of property at execution sales.
