Is Nevada a title theory state or a lien theory state?

Nevada is a lien theory state. In "title theory" states, actual "legal title" to the property temporarily passes to a trustee to secure the debt. The borrower (grantor), retains possession rights and "equitable title" and has full use of the property for the mortgage term. When the loan is paid off, legal title is restored without the necessity of a reconveyance. In "lien theory" states, the lender (mortgagee) places a "lien" on the mortgaged real property while the borrower retains both "equitable" and "legal" title.


Why would some one put a lien on their own home?

A person might place a lien on their own home if they were misinformed. The lien would be null and void. For a creditor, a lien creates an equitable interest in real property owned by another party. That other party owns the legal interest in the property. If a peron who owns the legal interest in property recorded a lien the two "interests" would "merge" in that same person and the lien would be nullified.

What is the minimum amount to place a lien on someone's home?

First to place a lien you should know how to do the procedure. A lien can be placed on a property for a variety of reasons. If a person is applying for a mortgage or refinancing, he may allow for a lien to be placed on his property to receive the financing. Also, a lien can be placed on property due to unpaid federal and state taxes, unpaid child support, divorce and many other cases in which the debtor does not pay a debt. As with any legal matter, it might be best to consult an attorney, but it's possible to file a lien yourself. (Answer is from http://www.ehow.com/how_4815511_place-lien-property.html) 2nd, the minimum time depends on local laws and regulations.
