Most times the lender who held the lien, will send a "Satisfaction of Lien" paper with your paid papers. The cover letter tells you that this paper needs to be filed with county records. They mail the paper to you so that you will pay the filing fee.
Now most mortgage lenders will file the "Satisfaction" as they included the fee in the payoff amount needed. Since they were paid the fee, they will in turn mail the original to the county where it was filed and the county will in turn mail you the "Satisfaction" paper when they are done. Usually takes 30 days or so.
If you are finding a lien on your title that should have been taken care of- either you or the attorney that is working your file should call the lender to get a "Satisfaction of Lien" mailed to you or the attorney so you can get if filed at the county.

∙ 11y agoA lien is security for a debt owed by the property owner. While the debt is outstanding, the person or company to whom money is owed may file a lien against property owned by the debtor. The typical way to remove a lien is to pay the debt, at which time the lienholder must remove it. A court may also order the lien removed if the debt is proven to be the result of fraud or other illegal activity.

Lien filed against you but no property If you now purchase property will the lien have to be satisfied whenif you sell it?
This may vary by state. If the lien is placed against YOU, that being your wages, then it does not affect the property and it will have a clean title. If they file for a lien against your property, though, you will be required to pay off the lien before selling the property. I'd advise that you don't let the debt collector find out you have the property if you plan on selling it.
What are the repercussions of having a lien on your property?
Your property cannot be sold or mortgaged until the lien is paid. If the lien is substantial the creditor can force a sale of the property. If the lien is for property taxes the town can get a court order, take possession of and sell the property. You should also be aware that interest begins to add up on any judgment lien until it is paid off. The debt will grow larger.

Can a lien hinder the transfer of land title?
If there is an existing lien on your property you can transfer the property to a new owner but the land is still subject to the lien. The new owner would have to pay the lien. Take care if the lien is a mortgage. In most cases the transfer of a property encumbered by a mortgage will trigger an immediate demand to pay off the mortgage. A property tax lien for delinquent taxes gives the town legal title to the property. You should also make sure your grantee is aware of the lien as it may have a detrimental affect on their use, enjoyment or continued possession of the property. Especially if a title examination will not be performed.

Can you sell off acreage if it is on a lien I own 40 acres the house is on 20 acres and the other 20 acres is plotted ready to sell can I sell off the 20 acres?
The property is subject to a lien. The question isn't whether you can sell it. The problem is that the buyer won't buy the property as long as there's a lien on it. Your attorney will need to negotiate a partial release or a full release with the lienholder if you will pay off the lien, or half of the lien, out of the proceeds from the sale of the 20 acres. If you don't pay the lien in full and the lienholder agrees to a partial payment then the lien will still be an encumbrance on your remaining property.
Can you go around a lien on your property?
No. The purpose of a lien is to notify the world that you own someone money. When recorded against your real property it serves notice to a potential buyer or lender that the property is already encumbered. You cannot sell or mortgage the property until the lien is paid. You need to go around and pay it off.
Your sister owns one quarter of a home but has an IRS lien how do you get her name off the house?
Unfortunately, it is too late. The IRS has a lien on your sister's interest in the property. If she was to convey her interest to you, which would be the only way to get her name off the property, the lien would remain on her interest in the property. The only way to get the lien released is to pay the balance due. IRS liens last for ten years and they have thirty days to refile. You cannot sell or refinance the property until the lien is paid.
