After-Acquired Title in Pennsylvania

A state court judgment is a lien on real estate owned by the debtor at the time of the judgment and does not attach to after acquired property. Note that if the judgment is revived after the purchase of property, it will attach upon revival.

However, Federal judgments and tax liens do attach to after-acquired property. IRS liens are subordinate to a purchase money mortgage, but the lien must be shown on Schedule B. II. as a subordinate matter. The lender must be notified and approve, and the closing instructions must be consistent and not require that the lien be removed.
