It means that someone has borrowed money from a Bank or lending company and used the car as colatoral. Be carefull, if you purchased this car, and that lien is still against it, the lending company can come after you for the money or take the car from you.

Does a lien on property mean it has to be sold in California?

A lien is paid out when the property is sold. It will come out of the proceeds paid to the seller for his recorded lien before a clear title can be issued to the new buyer. Otherwise, it just sits there as a matter of record.However, if the lien is large enough to be worth the trouble of foreclosing on it, the creditor may force the sale of the property to pay the lien.

Who is responsible for a property tax lien that the title company didn't find until after escrow closed?

The Title Co should have found that lien, which mean that the Lenders is not in 1st Lien position,, Title Co's issue a CPL which is a closing protection Letter or E&O. Which protects the lender. The Title Co can request that you settle out the Lien and provide proof. Either way someone has to pay it. I would contact your loan servicer and have them advise you on what to do since they now have an interest. Good Luck

What does it mean if the lien holders name is still on your vehicle title?

It means the lien holder has not released the lien because it hasn't been paid. You need to do some research. It must have been on the title that was signed over to you at the time of the sale. That is the time to check into clearing the lien.If a lien is listed on the title of a motor vehicle the buyer should not turn over the proceeds to the seller. The lienholder should be contacted for a payoff amount and the paid if necessary. Arrangements should be made at that time to have the lien released.
