A lien is a legal claim placed on real property to secure payment of a debt. Liens can affect your ability to sell, refinance, or transfer ownership.
Liens arise from different sources and follow priority rules; resolving them often involves notices, releases, negotiation, or court action.
A lien gives a creditor a legal right to your property until the underlying debt is satisfied, typically requiring payment before a clear title can pass.
Key elements include notice of lien, proof of debt, enforceable remedies, and the release process once obligations are met. The process may involve communications, negotiation, and, if needed, formal action.
