Yes, someone can put a lien on your house even if you owe less than $5,000. Liens can be placed for various reasons, including unpaid debts like contractor bills, taxes, or loans. The process typically involves legal steps, and it may vary by jurisdiction. It's advisable to address any debts promptly to avoid potential liens.
You can not sell your house or if you die your home will go to the people who have a lien on your home.The best thing to do is to pay off the lien which is usually someone or a bank you owe money.
Yes, it is possible for someone to put a lien on a house for $900. The dollar amount of the lien is not dependent on the value of the house. However, the specific laws and procedures for placing a lien may vary depending on the jurisdiction.
Sure. The lien would pass to their inheritors just as any other asset.
To sell your home, you put a FOR SALE sign out front. If the value of the lien is less than what you will get out of the house, then when you sell the house and pay off the lien, you get the rest of the money. If the lien is for more than the house is worth and you are ready to move elsewhere, you hand the keys to the IRS and say. "Here, have fun. It is all yours." At that point you owe more on the house than the house is worth.

A lien is usually created on something when someone has used that something as collateral. Ex. A house that has been paid off can have a lien placed on it by taking a out a home equity loan. The house is now used as colateral. The lien is placed by the loan institution. Hope this helps.
Sue the owner, win, and file the judgment with the recorder of deeds, or secure the owner's notarized agreement (for example a mortgage) granting you a lien and file it with the recorder of deeds or perform work on the house and file a mechanic's lien against it or be a governmental entity and file a tax lien, or be a lawyer and handle litigation to help the owner secure or clear title. If you wrongfully file a lien against someone's house, you can get in a great deal of trouble and may be prosecuted criminally and/or sued for slander to title. So, filing liens against someone's home is not something you should do without legal advice.

I doubt it. The longest statute of limitations is usually ten years and most credit related items run out after a half dozen years or less, in some states as few as two years. If the lien is related to a mortgage, the date is based on the mortgage dates.
Yes, a lien can be filed on a piece of real property, regardless of the owner. However, the reason for the lien has to be directly related to the actual owner or the property itself. i.e., if a trust owns a house and I live in the house, and you have a judgement against me, there is no attaching a lien on the house for my debt.
