Title may not even touch it. Maybe contact your local title agency and have them do a lookup. Not sure if they can pull the case information automatically without doing a statement of information from the sellers (since court docs aren't always found immediately on title searches). However, they are the ones that would tell you if the deal would go thru. You may scare any escrow officer with the question, but they can always send you up the ladder to a more experienced branch manager or title person more familiar with this. Chances are it won't be touched if there is potential liability legally on the property without a settlement or an amount of money set aside from the sellers escrow closing funds until the case settles. My best guess, could be wrong.
