There are a number of types of liens on real estate in Ohio (as well as most states). The most common it a property tax lien, which will be on all property as we pay our real estate taxed in arrears. The next most common type of lien is a Mortgage, a consensual lien that the owner of the property has given to someone else to secure the payment of a debt or the performance of some act. There are also judgment liens, liens that arise after a lawsuit is complete where the winner, if owed money, can file a lien against the real property of the loser. Then there are mechanic's liens, which are liens by construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers or laborers who performed labor or supplied materials or both, in furtherance of a construction project. The lien is against the improved real estate. There are many other kinds of liens, most of which have different methods of securing them and different lengths of time that they remain valid. Some are renewable (mechanic's liens are not). I tend to speak from the perspective of mechanic's liens as I am a construction lawyer in Cleveland. I have attached a link to articles that I wrote for the Builders Exchange Magazine which you may find helpful. Most are about mechanic's liens, some are about construction related topics.

There are usually statutes of limitation on property liens with different types of liens having different time periods. You would need to do a search for the particular type of lien.

How can your company place liens before starting a job?

There is no venue for attaching a Mechanic's Lien/liens to property before the building or improving of said property has been done.

When a mortgage holder forecloses does it eliminate junior liens and hoa liens?

When anyone files a foreclosure all of the lien holders having liens on the property are named as parties to the lawsuit. Technically, they are named as defendants and required to assert the claim of their lien or lose it. They assert the claim by entering the action, then filing a cross claim in the lawsuit stating their claim against the property and the person or company that owes them the money. If a lien holder fails to assert its claim, it will lose its lien rights and potentially its contract rights. If the original plaintiff, in your scenario, the mortgage holder does not name a lien holder, the foreclosure will go forward without that party, but the rights of that party will be preserved as the property will be sold subject to that lien, which usually result in that lien being in first place when it is sold/bought. If all of the parties were named, as is usually the case and they have stated their claim, the lawsuit will proceed. All parties that have proved that they are owed money and that they have a valid lien will proceed to the foreclosure sale. Assuming that all lien holders were named, when the property is sold, it will be sold free and clear of all liens. The key to your question is, "how much did the property sell for relative to the amount of the liens?" Once administrative fees and court costs are paid, the liens are paid in the order of their priority, the most senior first, until they are completely paid, then the next one in priority, until there is no money left. Any remaining liens will be removed from the property without compensation. I am an attorney in Cleveland, Ohio. This is the law of the State of Ohio which is a common style of the law, so it is likely the law in your state. To be certain you should talk with an attorney licensed in your state. The specifics of your case or the law of your State may change the answer. Please consult your attorney for an accurate answer.


Can any liens be placed on my home if it's in an revocable trust?

Trust law is extremely complicated. And yes, an improperly drafted trust can leave your property exposed to creditors and taxes. A revocable trust implies that you maintained some control over the property. That may cause the property to be exposed to creditors. The surest way to protect property is with an irrevocable trust. You should consult with an attorney who specializes in trust law and tax law.


Whether lien entered after foreclosure judgment entered is binding on purchaser?

Unfortunately for the purchaser, I believe that it is going to be. Some liens run with the property regardless of who purchases, or owns, it - "Mechanic's Liens" for instance. You really need to speak with a real estate attorney who is familiar with the law in your state.
