A property lien is a legal claim against real estate used to secure payment of a debt. It can affect sale, refinance, or title transfer.
In California, liens may arise from contractors, suppliers, taxes, or homeowner association assessments, and timely action is essential.
Key steps include identifying the lien, verifying its validity, understanding deadlines, negotiating with lienholders, and pursuing releases or judgments to clear title.
Key terms explained here help you understand how liens work and what to expect during resolution.
