A property lien is a legal claim against a property used to secure a debt. It can limit your ability to sell or refinance until the debt is addressed.
This guide explains common steps, your options, and the role of a lawyer in helping you reach a fair resolution.
A lien gives a creditor a legal claim on your property as security for a debt. It creates a priority that must be satisfied before the property can be transferred.
Key steps include identifying the lien, notifying the owner, negotiating with lien holders, and pursuing release once the debt is resolved.
This glossary explains terms you may encounter when dealing with property liens.
