It means that you owe someone money, they have obtained a judgment against you and you will not be able to sell or refinance your property until the lien is paid and a discharge is recorded.

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.


If you have a lien placed on your house does this mean you can't refinance your mortgage OR buy a new home until that lien is removed?

The lien doesn't usually affect after-acquired property unless it's an income tax lien. You cannot mortgage, refinance or sell the property against which the lien was recorded. That is exactly the purpose of recording a lien in the land records.

How does a lean on home work?

I assume you mean a lien on a home. If you own a home and you owe money, they have the ability to go to court, get a judgment and then place a lien on your home. If the home was used as collateral (for example your mortgage payment or home loan) then they would not need to get a judgment. It will not affect the homeowner until such time as they go to sell, in which case the money for the lien would come out of your proceeds before your receive them, or if you went to get a loan, they would want all leins satisfied out of the loan money and would do so before your received the remainder of the loan. The only kind of lien that can force sale is a defaulted mortgage (forclosure) or a tax lien.

If this was a true "gift" then that would mean no repayment. I would say it is highly unlikely that a lien can be put on the home.
