Thats what your agent is for, hopefully you have a very good one. From my experience Real Estate lawyers are for when you have a serious problem and they have very little day to day involvement with residential home purchases.
FWIW, I have had many clients get major appliances and major repairs completed under home warranty plans. Sellers should insist on giving one to protect themselves against non-disclosure while buyers should want one to protect against unforseen repairs or items missed during the physical inspection.
