Liens transfer with the land so your fiance will either have to pay off the loans if he wants to keep the property or sell the property to satisfy the liens.

As a Franchise Attorney I agree with the other attorney answer. Lies don't disappear when someone dies. Whoever gets the house takes it along with any liens against it. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
