You will be notified of the lien/debt. In order to clear the home title (i.e.- for sale, or refinance, etc) the lien/debt will have to be satisfied. Depending upon the size of the lien and the circumstances, the lien holder may be able to force a sale of the property in order to collect the debt. It also depends on the lien holder's position. Priority is given to a tax lien, then the 1st mortgage, 2nd, etc.
