A lien is a legal claim against the real property of another as security for the payment of debt. A lien gives the lienholder the right to sell the property to satisfy the debt if it is not otherwise paid. The property cannot be mortgaged or sold until the lien has been paid. A lien arises only under certain circumstances such as a mortgage, court judgment or a local, state or federal tax lien. A mechanic's lien can be recorded but those have a short life and usually must be pursued in court for a lien of longer duration. Liens have varying statutes of limitation.
