a lien lasts against real property for 10 years and remains a personal debt against the person for 20 years, in most states. if you wish to pay off a lien, that can be done very quickly. if you wish to pay off a lien, what you must do is request a payoff letter from the cerditor or holder of the lien, then pay that sum to them, and get a satisfaction of lien, or release of lien from the creditor to file with the county clerk as soon as possible
