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.

Can a lien holder repo a vehicle for no reason?

Not normally ... there must be some reason for this action on the part of the lien holder. If just one payment is missed, or just one day late, the lien holder could claim 'breach of contract' and demand return of the vehicle. I would be asking a high ranking official of this lien holder this very question ...

Your sister owns one quarter of a home but has an IRS lien how do you get her name off the house?

Unfortunately, it is too late. The IRS has a lien on your sister's interest in the property. If she was to convey her interest to you, which would be the only way to get her name off the property, the lien would remain on her interest in the property. The only way to get the lien released is to pay the balance due. IRS liens last for ten years and they have thirty days to refile. You cannot sell or refinance the property until the lien is paid. You can read about federal tax liens at the link below.
