A company filed a lien on my mineral rights back in 1988 and filed bankruptcy in the late 1980s is there a way to make this lien null and void?

Liens expire if they are not foreclosed in a certain period of time. I am guessing that the time to foreclose the liens has expired, as has the statute of limitations for the claim. Therefore, the liens should be ignored by a title insurance company. You may want to check with a real estate attorney in your area, though, to get specifics on your state's laws.
