Can A Real Estate Lawyer Help with a Property Lien? - The Curry Law Firm, PLLC
Property owners desire to have their land “free and clear” of claims from anyone else. It will be impossible to complete a property deal if a title search uncovers an issue.
Likewise, buyers are wary of properties with liens on them. No one wants to purchase a house or piece of land only to discover that someone else has a financial or ownership interest in a portion of it.
What Is a Property Lien?
Liens are court-ordered claims against a specified set of assets that allow creditors to collect what they are owed. A lien must be filed by a creditor and approved by a county records office or state agency. Property liens are governed by specific laws in each jurisdiction.
Some property liens are good; some are not. The lienholder can gain access to the property in case of unpaid debts. If a car, boat, or house owner fails to pay a contractor for services provided, for example, a property lien may be granted. Property liens are typically the last resort of a creditor when they are unable to collect on a debt.
