Equity has little effect upon a lien. It just records the fact that someone has a claim to certain value in the property, regardless of who owns it or who has equity.
In theory you can buy and sell land without any effect upon the liens, as long as the buyers are aware that they are getting encumbered title.
If there is a mortgage/equity loan involved,that loan will report on your credit history. The lien will report on the title of the house. A title search will be conducted if you are selling or refinancing the house.
It depends. Some credit cards come to you as equity loans (you activate the card, it gives you a limit on the card equal to the equity on your house) and if you don't pay off the loan, the house belongs to the company. If it is a regular credit card and you don't pay, they may take you to court and win a judgment against you. That would allow them to put a lien on the house in the amount of the judgement. So, to answer your question, yes, there are ways that a credit card company can put a lien on your house.
A lien is usually created on something when someone has used that something as collateral. Ex. A house that has been paid off can have a lien placed on it by taking a out a home equity loan. The house is now used as colateral. The lien is placed by the loan institution. Hope this helps.
You won't file a lien per se. If you are separating from your spouse, you need to see a divorce attorney. He or she will file your divorce at the courthouse, and your equity in the house will be determined by the court. Your attorney may file a lis pendens, which will serve as notice to anyone whom it may concern that your divorce is pending, and you are seeking a share of equity, but this is not required.
