Is there a state tax lien on real property after the owner dies and if so how is it released?

The state sells the house/property in a auction if the taxes are not paid eventually. All taxes have to be paid. The details vary from state to state but upon the sale of the property, the taxes must be paid by someone.Added: The tax lien becomes a lien against the deceased's estate and when the estate is probated the executor must satisfy the government's lien from the proceeds of the estate (if any).It IS conceivable that the property may have to be sold in order to get the funds to pay the back taxes.
