A survivorship deed has nothing to do with whether there is a mortgage on a property sold by a sheriff's deed.

A sheriff's deed conveys only what interest the debtor owned in the property. The debtor may have no interest in the property. It may be subject to a mortgage or the debtor may have only owned a half-interest. There may be other liens. In fact, language recited in a sheriff's deed generally declares that the sheriff does not certify the debtor had any interest in the property only that IF the debtor did own any interest in the property it is conveyed by the deed. That means a buyer needs to do a comprehensive title examination performed by a professional to disclose the legal status of the property. You should contact an attorney who specializes in real estate to represent you if you are interested in purchasing the property.
