Title risk

Liens that survive the sale

Tax deed is subject to the 1-year redemption right. After redemption expires and proper barment/notice, most private liens are cut off, but federal tax liens and some assessments can survive. HOA/condo liens require careful review under Georgia law.

Quiet title

Notice/barment under O.C.G.A. Title 48 is the statutory path to strengthen title; many title companies still want quiet title or completed barment before insuring for resale.
