the liens are for income taxes and unemployment taxes (I assume he owned a business), thus the mail may have been delivered directly to the accountant or attorney.

Additionally, when your in a fight about amount owed (esp. with state tax authorities), they will lien any assets you have on day one even if the liability isn't cleared up until months later. I know people who have had $26 dollar liens placed on their property because they owed that in penalty due to under-withholding of state taxes. The lien was on their property before they even received a bill.
