If you buy a car not knowing there is a lien on it from the previous owner how do you remove it off the title?

You need to find out if the underlying debt was paid. If it was paid you need to obtain a proper release from the lien holder. If it is not released then you need to pay off the lien and obtain a valid release of the lien from the lien holder. You should visit the DMV in your jurisdiction in person or online to determine its process for releasing a lien.
The DMV will likely have a form to use. It must be endorsed by the lien holder and you must take or mail that release form, your current certificate of title and the fee to the DMV. It may be safer to do it in person.

Yes, if you took a loan out and used your car as collaterol, then it can be taken away. If you own the title free and clear, then it cannot be taken from you. Only if you owe money on it or the previous owner owes money on it. If the previous owner has an outstanding debt on the car and sells it to you without you knowing about the debt then the car can still be repo'd.

Can you get a title if previous owner lost original?
The previous owner goes to the department of motor vehicles and fills out some paperwork. Then he pays a fee. You go with him and sign the paperwork for a new title, and pay a fee. If he had not lost the original title, he would not need to go to the department, fill out the paperwork, and pay the lost title fee. The original owner must go to the DMV to get a duplicate. In some states the owner can sign an application form for a duplicate and anyone can take it to the DMV but the title will still be issued to the original owner.
