YEP!
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.
If you sell the land it would still be subject to the lien. A prudent buyer will have the title researched and the lien will be disclosed. They will insist that the lien be paid off before taking title to the property.
As long as you keep making your mortgage payments the bank can't foreclose. However, you cannot refinance or sell the property until the lien is paid. If you sell, the net proceeds after paying off the mortgage would go to the lien holder to satisfy that lien.As long as you keep making your mortgage payments the bank can't foreclose.

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.
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.
A lien prevents the property from being sold without paying off the creditor. After a certain period of time, it is possible to foreclose on the property, sell it, and collect the amount of the lien, the balance going to the property owner or other creditors.
Either pay off the lien and then sell the vehicle, or sell the vehicle and use the money to pay off the lien.
If the credit card company who put the lien on your property won a lawsuit - making it a judgement, then the charges never go away. When you sell the property, the first monies you get will go to them.
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.
Pay off the lien with the proceeds of the sale.
You should be able to obtain a judgment lien from the court and record that lien in the land records. The owner then couldn't refinance or sell the property without paying off your lien. If there are other liens on the property they would have priority over yours.
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.
