What is the purpose of a Lien?

You must pay the Child Support Lien in order to remove it from the property. That is the purpose of the lien. Finding the lien and clearing it before the transfer is the purpose of the title examination.

No. The purpose of a lien is to make you pay your debt. The lien must be paid before you can sell or mortgage your property.

The IRS files the Notice of Federal Tax Lien (NFTL). The purpose of this is to establish the Government's right of priority against specific third parties.

No. The purpose of a lien is to notify the world that someone has some type of claim against your property or some form of interest in it. The property would remain subject to the lien

The lien doesn't usually affect after-acquired property unless it's an income tax lien. You cannot mortgage, refinance or sell the property against which the lien was recorded. That is exactly the purpose of recording a lien in the land records.

Tax liens must be paid before title to the property is transferred. The purpose of a tax lien is to prevent the property from being transferred before the lien is paid.

A lien title means that the car has a loan against it. If you do not have a "clear" or non lien title, the lender who hold the clear title can and does have the right to get the balance of the loan from you. The purpose of the lien title is to enable the car buyer to get the legal requirement for driving the car from the state. It's like renting the car in essence; the lien title is almost like the lease agreement for an apartment. So if a lien title is all there is...don't buy the car. It's not his to sell. Somebody has to settle the lien before you can legally own or register the vehicle.

To let lenders take back property they financed if you don't repay your loan

A lien prevents the property from being sold without paying off the creditor. After a certain period of time, it is possible to foreclose on the property, sell it, and collect the amount of the lien, the balance going to the property owner or other creditors.

Pay off the lien. Pay off the lien. Pay off the lien. Pay off the lien.

The lien would remain on the property. That sort of thing should show up on the title examination BEFORE the sale. Then the buyer could have required the seller to pay it. That's the purpose of a "lien". You may have to have an attorney write a letter to the title company--ultimately they are paid to find such things and make sure that they get it paid at closing. The lien must have been properly recorded.

You go to the DMV in your area and have them do a lien check. If the title is from out of state you must contact that state dmv for the same purpose. If a lien-holder is noted on the front of the title, you may also contact them to determine if the lien has been released. Obtain a copy of the release statement.

Mechanic's lien- no. Mechanic's lien- no. Mechanic's lien- no. Mechanic's lien- no.

A transfer of lien assigns the lien claimant's position in the lien to another party. A release of lien discharges the lien and makes it not appear on a title policy issued for the property.

An involuntary lien would be a judgment lien by a creditor, a lien for unpaid property taxes or income taxes, a demolition lien, a lien for unpaid common expenses or homeowners association dues or a mechanic's lien. Contrast that with a lien you granted in your property such as a mortgage which would be a voluntary lien.

No a subcontractor can hire another subcontractor and put a lien on the property if the second subcontractor is replaced even with a signed contract.

If the lien is legitimate, contact the lien claimant to work out a payment plan.
