Getting rid of previous owners' IRS tax lien attached to my Title

[Steve Sherman]

I recently purchased a duplex at a St. Louis City Tax Sale. The preliminary title report showed that there is a Federal Tax Lien attached to the property, which doesn't automatically get wiped out through the Tax Deed Auction sale. However, I was told that these Federal IRS tax liens follow the person and not the property. Now that I purchased the property and the title is in my name, I want to get rid of this tax lien that came from the previous owner. Does anyone have experience getting these tax liens waived/discharged? Thank you.
