If a condo complex is put into receivership during the escrow of one of the units, is the seller/selling agent responsible for informing the the buyer?

If a new condominium complex with 3 out of 20 units sold is put into receivership during the escrow of a unit, is the seller/selling agent responsible for informing the buyer by law that the complex is in receivership? The buyer in this case would only be purchasing one of the twenty units, and the receivership would not have anything to do with that individual unit sale. I’m wondering what laws specifically would apply?
