[WSBARP] Sheriff's Sale of Real Property vs. Trustee's Sale

[Kaitlyn Jackson]

Brain Trust -

I've been reviewing RCW 6.21 regarding Sheriff's Sales because I'm trying
to nail down the differences between the effect of the Sheriff's Sale and
Trustee's Sale with regard to rights of the purchaser. The RCW appears a
little unclear (in my opinion) on the issue of transfer of title to the
purchaser and what (if any) liens and encumbrances remain secured after the
sale. If someone can help clarify this, I would be grateful.

Specifically, my questions are:

1. Are subordinate liens/encumbrances released by the sale (similar to a
trustee's sale)?
2. Assuming there's an 8-12 month redemption period, when does title
actually transfer to the purchaser at the Sheriff's Sale? Does that happen
only after the redemption period has expired? If so, who is responsible for
liabilities such as HOA dues during the redemption period?

Thanks in advance for any help here!
