If the car has a lien on it, that means someone else has legal right to the vehicle probably for the balance of a car loan or due to non-payment of the car loan. If you purchase the car from its owner then you will be responsible for paying the lien or the vehicle may be repossessed by the lender or seized to pay the debt.
You would need to obtain a valid release of the lien and follow the appropriate steps to have the lien released if you want to acquire a clear title.
The name of the lien holder should be written on the certificate of title. You can also check the status of the title by visiting your state department of motor vehicles website. You can also visit the local office and ask the clerk to run a check for you.
You contact the lender who has a lien on it and purchase it from them.
You can only transfer a car title with a lien if the leinholder agrees to the transfer. The usual way is to pay off the loan as part of the purchase or transfer transaction, using part of the sales price for that and thus removing the lien.
They will be listed as having a lien on the title. Check the purchase contract carefully to see what their rights are.
A lien clouds title to a property, which means that the property owner may not successfully transfer title to another owner until the lien is satisfied. As buyer, you are entitled to a 'clean title' to the property. The association may not file a lien against a new buyer upon purchase, since the new buyer is not obligated to pay assessments until the date of purchase and beyond.
What do you mean? Did you purchase a home that has a lien on it? If so, you do not have a clear title to your home and the lien holder can take posession of your property. A lien should be paid off prior to completing a sale of a property. Good Luck
