Certain liens expire but not all. Liens for unpaid property taxes do not expire. Other types of liens have different statutes of limitations that differ in each state. You need to check the particular type of lien and the particular state to determine the length if its effective life.

What is a short sale in real estate?

A short sale is a sale in real estate, in which the proceeds from selling the property will fall short of the balance of debts secured by liens against the property, and the property owner cannot afford to repay the liens' full amounts and where the lien holders agree to release their lien on the real estate and accept less than the amount owed on the debt.


How do you find out if there is a lien on a real estate property you are looking at?

You can have a title company check for you, or you can contact the county where the property is. Liens have to be on file with the deed.


When can a lien lead to foreclosure?

A real estate lien creates a secured debt by providing the lender or creditor holding the lien with a security interest in your property. Although your mortgage lender attaches a lien to your home as a matter of course, any other real estate liens that attach to the property do so because of debts you left unpaid. In certain situations, property liens can result in foreclosure.


Can liens be placed on your home if you cannot pay off your credit card debt and can you lose your home if you do not pay this debt?

Yes, a lien can be placed against real estate for unpaid debt. Generally, this results in no loss of the real estate, rather impedes the title by having additional liens which need to be cleared by payment prior to sale or transfer by some other means (like a will). Consult a real estate attorney for more specific information. I would add that it would be a good idea for homeowners to check how their property is titled. And also to be informed of the laws of the resident state concerning such matters. For example, a state which recognizes "tenancy by the entirety" is quite different in real property, than a commnity property state.


Can money be paid to a borrower after foreclosure sale?

Yes, if there is enough in proceeds to pay off all of the liens on the home, any remaining funds are paid to the borrower.Liens are paid off in the following order:Local real estate taxes.The first mortgage.All other mortgages and liens paid in order of when they were first recorded.Any funds after these are paid will go to the borrowers. Unfortunately, this is usually not the case, as most sheriff sales do not generate enough money to pay off even the real estate taxes and first mortgage in full.

A company filed a lien on my mineral rights back in 1988 and filed bankruptcy in the late 1980s is there a way to make this lien null and void?

Liens expire if they are not foreclosed in a certain period of time. I am guessing that the time to foreclose the liens has expired, as has the statute of limitations for the claim. Therefore, the liens should be ignored by a title insurance company. You may want to check with a real estate attorney in your area, though, to get specifics on your state's laws.

What are the procedures at a real estate auction to determine what liens are paid?

Answer: Liens that were recorded prior to the mortgage must be paid. Taxes and municipal liens must be paid. Liens that were recorded subsequent to the foreclosed mortgage are wiped out by the foreclosure. AND you should have the title checked at least one more owner back to determine what liens are outstanding.
