Title is issued at the time of the foreclosure commencement (TSG or Trustee Sale Guarantee here on the West Coast) so, any liens show up before the notice of sale (Or judgment for you attorney states) and are dealt with then (Dealt with in the sense that if they are junior, they are noticed that they will be wiped out in foreclosure if they don't pay the senior off).

There are nuances about Where the notices are to be mailed and a failure on your part to post/record a notice of commencement type document may delay their “timeline click” from starting. 

Once it is accepted, commence due diligence.
