If an estate representative has been appointed, you can get their contact information from the probate case file. There may also be an attorney's name associated with the case. If so, the attorney would be the person to contact. They would know how to draft a proper release of the lien once you have paid the debt to the estate. You must record that release in the land records in order to release the lien on your home. You should not hand over any money until you know that the person taking it has the legal authority to release the lien.
