Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Indiana

Hi, I'm sincerely looking for an advice for my situation. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

I was relocated from state A to state B due to job change. The relocation policy offers a buy-out benefit-- that my house could be sold to a company X. The house was inspected (the inspection was ordered by company X) without problem in May. After the inspection, I moved out of the property at the end of May. The property was finally sold to company X under buy-out policy in Aug. Before the transaction, the company X also had a real estate agent to walk though a checklist and made sure everthing was in good condition. Now, the transaction is complete. My house was sold to company X, and I also terminated the home owner's insurance policy to my previous property. Today, I got an email from company X saying: they are trying to sell the property to a potential buy, and the potencial buy had an inspection on the house and found a roof damage. They also claim the damage seems happending in June. I am therefore responsible to repair the damage since I was still the owner by then.

1) Am I responsible for it NOW?

2) If I'm not responsible to it, how could I countback to the unfair charge?

3) if Yes, Would my previous homeowner's insurance cover it?

Without having a contract to reveiw, your inquiry cannot be answered. I suggest that you consult in person with an attorney and have all of the paperwork with you.
