Often there are other encumbrances on the property's title (the owner's mortgage(s) or judgments against the owner attaching to the property) that should legally be paid before the owner, so this article is oversimplifying the issue.

This is true. In order to claim the funds, you have to first see if there are any other claims against it. They make you search the court record for any standing suits/orders regarding the unclaimed tax sale auction funds and then certify that you have done so before they will cut you the check.

No. Tax sale wipes them out. These are properties where if there was a mortgage the mortgage holder said im sick of paying this persons taxes and let it go.
These funds are purely unclaimed because the people they are owed to can’t be bothered to ask for them. Much like they couldn’t be bothered to pay their taxes.
