A Life Estate question: whether liens attach to the property.....

Okay guys, I feel like I should know this one, I have an opinion, but I'm not sure.

Property worth maybe $90k, as is.  Free and clear.

Property titled in name of Mary Smith only, a married woman.

Mary dies, husband receives a life estate, mother's natural children from previous husband inherit the "Remainder".

Husband, who has a life estate, accumulates $150k in IRS liens.

Do the IRS liens attach to the property in any way?

Considering buying the remainder, and/or the life estate.
