It depends on what the lien is against. If it is against the estate, it has to be resolved before distribution. If there is a lien against your property, your inheritance does not have to be used to pay it off, however, it could be claimed through a court order.

You should visit the DMV in your jurisdiction in person or online to determine its process for releasing a lien.The DMV will likely have a form to use.

If a person inherits a car that has a lien against it for an auto loan is that person responible for repaying the outstanding amount or can the lien holder only go after the deceased's estate?
If you wish to keep the car then you will need to pay the lien on it. The lien takes priority over your inheritance. If the decedent purchased a car and had to finance it then the lender owns the car until the loan is paid. Therefore the car was not owned by the decedent and could not have been gifted to you in the will.
