I think you may have meant "lien" instead of "lean". A lien is a monetary (money) debt placed against a possession by a creditor who has not been paid by other means.
If an owner sells his cat on which a lien has previously been placed, the lien belongs to the person (i.e. the other person who owned the possession before); a lien does not "follow" the car or other possession, it follows the person who owes the debt.
If a seller sold you a car with a lien against it, you need to contact an attorney to get the lien removed from your-now-owned car. You or your attorney needs to notify the creditor/lien holder that you bought the car without knowledge of the lien. The creditor would then need to identify a different possession owned by the other person in order to attach the lien to that possession, and not to your car.

Can you put a lien on a car if there is no lienholder on the title?
If the car is put up as collateral for a loan, and that loan is not repaid according to the written agreement then a lien will be placed on the title. If you sell the vehicle the lien holder will be paid first before you are able to put any money into your pocket. Never use your car as collateral for any loans ... cars lose their values and soon enough the lien (loan) will be more than the car is worth. The lien still has to be paid off when it's sold, even if the lien amount exceeds the price the car is sold for.

What is an auto lienholder?
A lien holder is someone who has a financial interest in a car. It could be the bank you financed it from, or someone else who the car owner owes money to. The car owner's name is on the title with the lien holder's name so that you can't sell the car without the lien holder signing the title...this means that you don't owe the lien holder any money on the car. The car is now 100% owned by the title owner.
Can the judge in a divorce give the car to someone free and clear even though their is a lien against it?
It will be interesting to see if the judge can give the car to someone free and clear even tho there is a lien. The judge probably can not give the car away and ignore the lien. Still, it could depend on the identity of the lien holder. Other than that slim possibility, the lien may still be a factor.

If someone has a car title that belongs to a person that someone paid for from a title loan place and the person didn't put his name on the lien spot so does the car still belong to him or you or who?
The car belongs to the person listed as the owner on the title. Listing someone as the lien holder does not make them the owner.You can't transfer a motor vehicle when you know there's a lien on it. The lien would be reflected on the title and a prudent buyer wouldn't take title that is encumbered by a lien.
