IRS Liens On Real Estate Forclosure

GUSSAN profile photo
does the IRS lien on a real state property get wiped off if the property is foreclosed on by the lender?
I am asking this because I bought a property at a foreclosure and I found out that the IRS has a tax lien that I cant afford to pay, what will happen?

    IRS liens are superior. Is is a good idea to do title work as part of the pre-foreclosure process.... You may be able to negotiate with the IRS regarding the lien. This is outside my knowledge area.

    checkout http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_lien and do some Googling.

    If the foreclose the lien, they pay you off w/ interest.[ Edited by cjmazur on Date 01/05/2009 ]
