In order to be able to sell or mortgage the property you need to bring a Quiet Title action in the appropriate court. The decree will bar any future claims against the property and make it insurable. You can review a good discussion of the procedure at the link below.
As mentioned above a quiet title will make void and nullify inferior liens and encumbrances but superior encumbrances will stand regardless of filing the quiet title action.
After acquisition of a tax deed in Florida there are basically three options.
1. Sell your interest in the property via Quit Claim Deed without insurable/marketable title.
2. File your quiet title action and after being favorably adjudged in the Civil Court of which the property lies, you can then convey the property free of inferior liens but any superior liens will need be satisfied and those parties of interest should be acknowledged and paid prior to filing.
3. Do not file your quiet title action, hold your interest in the property for 4 years, pay off the superior encumbrance/lien holders and make sure you pay all dues, taxes associated with the property during that time. This in essence will purge the title of those inferior parties of interest holding an interest. In accordance to the general underwriting practices you will have insurable title.
What is difference between marketable title and insurable title?
A title examination that shows no title defects or other encumbrances, and, title to be in the seller is acceptable evidence of marketable title.
this means there are problems with a title preventing it from being marketable to add additional proof of ownership negating those problems would cure the problem

You should make sure of the situation before signing on the dotted line--the title company should have provided a clear title (no judgments, liens and so on).
