The 10 year time period itself will void some liens by execution of the Statute of limitations in your State. But the adverse possession claim/quiet title action itself with do nothing to any such pre existing liens. you could possibly assert in your quiet title action that the liens had been paid off, and ask the court to discharge them, but that would be completely different from an adverse possession claim. You would have to serve the lien holder, which may just alert them to the fact that they have a lien on the property which they had otherwise forgotten about.
