If your first original mortgage is current can a second mortgage foreclose?

Yes. Any lien holder can initiate foreclosure proceedings when their lien is in default.


What if you stop paying on my second mortgage?

They'll probably, eventually, foreclosure. (second response) The first lien holder will pay the second lien holder to prevent them from foreclosing on the property. A second lien would never get away with this, but if they did, boy would they be in the money. Imagine if you took a home equity loan out on a $200,000 home for $25,000 dollars. You stop paying on the second lien, and they foreclose. Their $25,000 investment just returned $200,000. Be a hell of a day for a bank. Flip side is, if a home with 2 liens does go into foreclose, the second (junior) lien gets nothing.

Certainly, there is no reason they can't. They may not be able to foreclose on the property, but if it is sold, the debtor's share will go toward the lien.


If you foreclose on your home and proceeds are not enough to pay the first and second mortgage what happens to the second mortgage lien?

What is a Claim of Lien in Florida?

A Claim of Lien is a formal and recorded notice that a lien has been placed on property. In Florida, if the lien results from improvement made to a personal residence the lienor may take action to enforce the lien, which can include foreclosure on your home and a forced sale on the court house steps. A construction lien "expires" or becomes unenforceable 365 days after it was recorded. If you receive a Claim of Lien take it very seriously, do not ignore it, speak to a Florida attorney with proficiency in construction law.


What happens if the lien is improper?

If a construction lien (or mechanic's lien, as it is sometimes referred to) is not properly filed, or has defects in the lien itself (liens are highly technical documents), it may be discharged. An attorney can bring an action to discharge a lien. In New Jersey, this can be done either through an Order to Show Cause, or by forcing the lienor to bring an action to foreclose and defend the lien.


Can you take ownership of property by filing a lien?

No. A lien doesn't give you ownership. First, you must sue in court and win to obtain a judgment lien. A homeowner cannot sell or mortgage their property until a judgment lien is paid. You may be able to foreclose on the judgment lien in your state. If the lien isn't paid you can consult with an attorney in your state regarding how to foreclose on a judgment lien. Legal costs may be expensive.


Can a subcontractor for termite treatment on a Hollywood Florida home put a lien on the house when the contractor was paid in full but will not pay the subcontractor?

Not likely. There is no privity of contract between the homeowner and the subcontractor. The homeowner had an agreement with the general contractor, and that's the only person they have a duty to pay. The subcontractor can only pursue payment from the general contractor - to put a lien on the home would be to punish an innocent party - the homeowner. This is between the subcontractor and the general contractor, and there's no reason to bring the homeowner into this, since the homeowner doesn't owe the subcontractor anything.


Can a subcontractor file a lien if he contracted with a general contractor?

What to do when a contractor does not want to pay a sub contractor?

A subcontractor can turn to Construction or mechanics lien law in order to secure payment. By being lien law compliant, meeting specific requirements such as preliminary notices and within time restrictions, a subcontractor can withhold payments to the primary contractor or lien the property. Lien laws are state specific and you should check your state's statutes for the requirements and restrictions. Property owners can protect themselves from these liens by requesting waivers or releases from all subcontracts and the primary contractor for each payment as well as a Contractor's Affidavit at the end of the job in exchange for the final payment.
