You need to elaborate on what type of lien. A mortgage lien can last for 21 years after the due date. A tax lien, depending on the type can last 10 years. A mechanic's lien can last 6 years. A judgment lien will last 5 years. Mechanic's liens are not renewable. Judgement liens are renewable, some tax liens are, too. What kind of lien are you asking about?

∙ 6y agoGenerically a lien is an encumbrance on one person's property/estate to secure a debt the property owner owes to another person.
In most legal systems on Earth, a lien on the property/estate will continue until the property is sold, at which point the debt will have to be settled in cash.
This said, if the person owing the debt dies and there is not enough money in the person's estate to settle the debt then, in most countries, the debt ends and is not pass on to the deceased person's family.
However in the US/Ohio I believe that there are other sorts of lien (eg a mechanic's lien which can last 6 years) which have to be renewed (legally in a court) or they do expire. You need to talk to an Ohio registered attorney regarding the specifics of the "estate lein" you are asking about.

What is Ohio law concerning liens on property?
There are a number of types of liens on real estate in Ohio (as well as most states). The most common it a property tax lien, which will be on all property as we pay our real estate taxed in arrears. The next most common type of lien is a Mortgage, a consensual lien that the owner of the property has given to someone else to secure the payment of a debt or the performance of some act. There are also judgment liens, liens that arise after a lawsuit is complete where the winner, if owed money, can file a lien against the real property of the loser. Then there are mechanic's liens, which are liens by construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers or laborers who performed labor or supplied materials or both, in furtherance of a construction project. The lien is against the improved real estate. There are many other kinds of liens, most of which have different methods of securing them and different lengths of time that they remain valid. Some are renewable (mechanic's liens are not). I tend to speak from the perspective of mechanic's liens as I am a construction lawyer in Cleveland. I have attached a link to articles that I wrote for the Builders Exchange Magazine which you may find helpful. Most are about mechanic's liens, some are about construction related topics.
How can you remove someone from an Ohio deed if there is a lien in his name without paying off the lien first?
You may need to consult a real estate attorney regarding this issue. If a person owns land and liens are recorded against him, those liens automatically attach to the real estate when the lien is recorded. If the person conveyed his interest in the land the liens would remain on the property. If the person conveyed his interest in order to defraud additional, known creditors who have not yet recorded liens, that could result in more costly and serious problems down the road. It would be best to consult with an attorney.
How do you renew a mechanic's lien in Ohio?
Ohio Mechanic's liens cannot be renewed. They expire on the sixth anniversary of the date they were filed. This does not mean that you don't still have a contract right to collect your money, although Ohio just shortened the statute of limitations from 15 years on written contracts entered into prior to the effective date of the statute, to 8 years. Verbal contracts are even shorter and would have likely expired by the expiration date of the Ohio Mechanic's Lien. Check my website. I have several articles and videos on mechanic's liens.
