When a titled owner of any real estate dies, the title flows according to law, potentially, to a joint tenant with full rights of survivorship, to a trust, to beneficiaries according to a Will and so forth.
Whomever holds title to the real estate is responsible for paying assessments.
The current owner will inform you as to the monies due to the HOA at the time of sale. If the HOA has filed a proper lien on the title to cover past assessments, then yes, they are paid as part of the sale.
Owners pay HOA assessments, in monthly or in annual payments. These payments are the revenue source for the operation of the community. Past-due assessments in escrow may be paid to satisfy a lien.
Depends on the laws of the state; the HOA should have its attorney check this. But the question is how did the sale occur without the HOA providing a standard letter certifying that all dues were paid to date of sale unless your state does not require this? The HOA should have filed its lien against the unit prior to the sale, too, if state law granted it that right.
While it is possible to write up a statutory lien form based on your state's laws, I don't recommend it. Any mistakes or omissions you make will cost the HOA thousands of dollars in attorney fees. Therefore, the best way is to contact a real estate attorney in your area and let him or her do the work. In addition, most states allow HOA's to collect attorney fees from homeowners who haven't paid their dues, so odds are the attorney won't cost the HOA a penny (once the lien has been paid).

They should have collected this from the seller at closing. Usually the title company will contact the HOA to find out how much is due. The year's dues should be prorated according to what portion of the year that the seller owned the home and what portion that the buyer owned it. It is possible that the buyer gets a credit for partial HOA dues on the closing statement, then must pay a full year's dues to the HOA. Or the title company may pay dues directly to the HOA out of funds from closing. Check with the title company to find out what exactly happened at closing.

If the same owner has built up years of past-due assessments, the HOA can collect them all. If you purchased a home with past-due assessments, and the HOA did not step in before title-transfer time, it is unlikely that you as the new owner are responsible for past-due assessments that the board failed to collect from the previous owner.
Monies may have been earmarked for assessments as part of the sale transaction. If you believe that such monies were earmarked and the assessments were not paid from the monies involved in the sale, you can notify the Title Company with your evidence and request that the assessment monies be sent to the HOA offices.
It depends on the specific rules and regulations of the homeowners association (HOA) in question. Some HOAs may require homeowners to pay dues even if their home is under construction, while others may exempt them from paying until the construction is complete. It is important to review the HOA's governing documents or consult with the HOA directly to determine their specific policies regarding dues for homes under construction.
It can place a lien on your property that must be paid from the proceeds of the sale.Also, the buyer's bank will require a title examination to disclose any liens, encumbrances or defects in the title. One of the responsibilities of the buyer's attorney is to make certain there are no common charges or municipal charges due. The seller must clear up any liens or encumbrances that are reported.
