If you have a lien placed on your house does this mean you can't refinance your mortgage OR buy a new home until that lien is removed?

The lien doesn't usually affect after-acquired property unless it's an income tax lien. You cannot mortgage, refinance or sell the property against which the lien was recorded. That is exactly the purpose of recording a lien in the land records.

Can the lien against my property be released when the the original owner apparently with a tax debt died.?

Assuming you are talking about an IRS lien, then yes. If you were not liable for the taxes, then the lien should not be on your property. The first thing to determine is whether or not the lien actually attached to your property. If the previous owner of the house owned the house at the time the lien was filed, then the lien probably legally attached to the house. If this is the case, this is something you should take up with the title company that did the title work when you purchased the house. More common is that the IRS filed a lien and the address they had on record was still his old house (your house). Just because the lien had that address on it doesn't mean you have a lien on your house. If the property wasn't his, then it did not legally attach. If a title company still has issues with this (if you are trying to sell your house), you may need to get a Certificate of Non-Attachment from the IRS to show them that it's not attached.

A lien is not designed to help a homeowner. It is a contractors way of laying claim to some of the value in your home so that you can not sell it or refinance with out paying off the lien. In addition to the original dept you will be required to pay a lien filing fee (about $100) to clear this.

If you're refinancing your house but the contractor who was renovating is putting a lien on the house because you still owe him a small amount of money will that affect the refinancing and your credit?

If the lien is reported to your the 3 credit reporting agencies or even one as a collection it will effect your credit. If the lien is just on your home it will not effect your credit however you will have to pay the lien off when you sell or refinance your property. Also some of these liens have running interest which can be a shock in the future.


What happens to a person's house after a lien is filled?

It is legally possible in most situations for a lien holder to request the forced sale of a home or property. This rarely happens, generally the lien will remain against the home until the homeowner wants to refinance, sell, transfer or initiate any action concerning the property. Before any transactions can take place all liens must be paid or satisfactoriyl settled. Liens against real property accrue interest making it possible for a small debt to rapidly turn into a large one.


Who owns the vehicle you or the lien holder?

Well, you own the vehicle subject to the lien. You cannot sell or refinance the vehicle until the lien holder is paid. If you don't pay the lien, the lien holder can repossess the vehicle. So you own it subject to your paying the loan.
