I believe that a lien on a property stays with the property, not with a person. The purchaser of the property will be responsible for any liens to get a clear title.
The government has statutory powers to place liens against property: local, state and federal liens can be recorded without court judgments. A court decree may be required to foreclose on those liens, take possession and sell the property.
You have to track down the owners of the liens and pay them. Your local tax office or the tax office in which the property is located should be able to assist you in the location of the holders of the lien. If you bought the property with existing liens attached to it, you bought the liens too and are now responsible for them legally. Your only recourse would be to sue the previous owners for restitiuion of the cost of paying off the liens.
If the property is subject to active liens, generally the devisee will acquire the property subject to those liens.
State laws may vary, and some liens could PREVENT you from recording a sale, if you try to record a deed without paying off (releasing) the liens. I'm certainly no expert on liens, but there may be nothing preventing a purchaser from buying a property subject to liens (claims) accrued by the previous owners. You could buy property with a mortgage on it, tax liens on it, mechanic's liens, municipal liens, etc., as long as you (the buyer) understand that ANY of these liens could result in claims being made against you, and you should get some guarantee (bond, security, payment) from the seller in exchange for accepting this sort of risk.
Tax liens, especially real estate tax liens, take priority. Other liens, such as judgment liens, take a back seat. A property tax taking is often for much less than the property value, and if the debtor does not redeem the property by paying the tax due, the tax sale buyer gets a huge bonus. The other liens, including mortgages, go away, but the debtor still owes the money.
Taxes levied on a homeowner for their property to secure the payment of taxes. A tax lien may be imposed for delinquent taxes owed on property, or as a result of someone not paying their taxes. They are important, because you want to keep your house and property, and not get it seized. Tax liens are issued when the IRS decides to claim your assets as their own in lieu of you paying your income taxes. Tax liens can take your real property, empty your bank accounts, and seize your paychecks.
They do not issue warrants, they file tax liens against the property in question.

Yes. The liens are attached to the property. You should insist that the liens be paid before the transfer.
There are few types: construction, security, tax, judgment, artisan... you should check your state statutes (lien laws) for the types of liens and the requirements for each. Most state statutes are available online.
