title company会把卖房款扣一部分去还税款啊,另一部分还mortgage,lien不就都取消了?Only the rest goes to seller.
如果卖房款换不起Mortgage和其他lien,那是seller无法提供marketable title, 那个时候seller违约,这样escrow会拿回来。
This is what title company do, they ensure the buyer get a "marketable title".

Buyer to back out only because seller has tax lien, might be a breach of contract. Buyer might back out because the seller will unable to pay off tax lien even with sales proceed.
