In most states, the lien is only intended to allow you to state your claim to improvements on the real property. If they owe you money for something else, you can't file a lien and if the improvments were completed more than a few weeks in the past you can't file a lien.

If it's just a simple dispute over what's owed, you may need to go to small claims court.

A Mechanic's Lien can be filed for a nominal fee at the recorder's office in the city or county where the property is located. This type of lien is for work done on the property only such as roofing, siding, remodeling interiors and so forth.

Liens for monies owed for personal loans, credit, etc. can only be obtained by due process of law, meaning the lender must file a lawsuit against the debtor in the appropriate state court.

The majority of small claims courts only allow monetary recovery, they do not allow the plaintiff to execute a judgment as a lien against real property.

Contact the office of the clerk or court administrator in the city or county where the debtor resides to obtain information on the legal procedure necessary.

AnswerYes.

First the lender must sue the debtor in the appropriate state court (usually circuit).

There are filing and court fees associated with all lawsuits, although in some cases whichever party prevails in the lawsuit can recover such costs.

Short and simple, I was asked to be the financial backer for a Christmas Tree sales Business, Trees 4 U, and I then ended up with actual interaction trying to help sell these trees. The President verbally put a motorcycle for collateral, Honda Shadow, I'm not taking the Shadow, to personal to her. So I proceeded to collect my money owed, she has a lot of property in Salem, Or and I found her a few investors, didn't go anywhere. The amount of monies that is owed to me personally is over $19,000.00. What am I supposed to do from here, I think her property is going to be foreclosed on but I cannot get a straight answer. I would like to be able to get a lien or something to cover all of my hard earned money and especially the effort I put in when her tree sales went to sh-t. Please Reply soon, Thank You, Tom Gates

You need to sue them in court and win. The court will issue a judgment lien that can be recorded in the land records against their home.

No as a judgment is required from a judge which means you legally owe restitution for something.

What is an auto lienholder?

A lien holder is someone who has a financial interest in a car. It could be the bank you financed it from, or someone else who the car owner owes money to. The car owner's name is on the title with the lien holder's name so that you can't sell the car without the lien holder signing the title...this means that you don't owe the lien holder any money on the car. The car is now 100% owned by the title owner.
