And you came here?

He tells me that plaintiffs are wackos. There's one "Unlawful Detainer" action which was dismissed. An appeal was taken, and that appeal has been dismissed. There's also a civil suit going against seller (and others?) that seller's lawyer had a demurrer granted, but apparently just found out last week that judge gave plaintiff leave to amend and an amended complaint was subsequently filed.

Unless you are totally in love with the house, get out now. You WILL be sued. No question. And it will suck for the next couple of years, as the plaintiffs draft countless complaints and pleadings filled with wild ramblings just coherent enough such that if the judge's clerk, if she takes enough LSD, can make out a possible claim and so the thing won't get dismissed. You will spend thousands of dollars (that you may or may not get back from the seller) filing responses to briefs that make no sense, only to have a judge give the other side the benefit of the doubt. Believe me, as a lawyer there are few things that can drive you crazier. And it's got to be even worse if it's your own house.
Plus, if you're really lucky the plaintiff will try to camp out in your front yard until the government agrees to give him his house back and take the antenna out of his skull.
Of course, there is a good chance that even if out get out now you will be sued by the former owners. Sorry, man. That sucks. Best of luck.
