Tax Liens on inherited property in CA

[Raphael Turner]

Hello all, I stand to inherit a home that has about 15,000 dollars worth of tax liens on it. The property is worth about 360K and is otherwise free and clear. I won't be able to take over the property unless I take it on with the tax liens. My question is will I hurt my credit score if I take on the property and then aggressively pay down the liens? Is it something you would do?
