Liens that survive

Upset: many private liens/mortgages survive. Judicial: free and clear of most liens after proper notice (analyze federal tax liens separately). Strict RETSL notice compliance — defective notice can void sales.

Quiet title

Upset titles often need further litigation/insurance work; Judicial titles cleaner but quiet title still common for resale insurance.
