buying second hand phone

Looking to buy a second hand , near new phone , I have completed the IMEI checks and serial number checks , all have come back clean. Is there a way Apple can change the warranty and other detail over to me. The other thing I am concerned about is the previous owner making an insurance claim on the phone and then locking it . Is there a way to stop this after purchase?

Important Tip......Do NOT buy the phone unless and until the "hello" screen appears when you power it up. Have the previous owner go through these steps......before....you buy.
