a civil lien can be put on property for nonpayment of any liabilities owed,but only after a judgment from a lawsuit ordered by the judge to pay. you can resolve the lien by paying the judgment in full or filing for bankruptcy. the civil lien will last for 10 years & can be renewed. if lien is in place during ownership of property, lien will be satisfied up sale of house in escrow.
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.
Not necessarily: if a lien is placed against a home this means that if the house is ever sold within a particular time then the amount of the lien must be taken from the sale of the home to satisfy the lien. In most states the home in which the debtor lives is exempted from being forcibly sold (Sheriff's sale). This is called a homestead exemption.
If you have a lien it will have to be satisfied at time of sale to clear title.
Generally, a buyer won't buy a home with an outstanding lien, because clear title can't be passed to the buyer. If you can afford to wait until property close and there is enough money available in the sale transaction to pay the lien, you can pay a lien with sale proceeds. Be aware however, that a clouded real estate title raises questions, so waiting until the sale closes might not be the most politic choice.
No. Every mortgage is secured by a lien. The lien only ensures that the lien holder is reimbursed upon sale of the property. There can actually be several lien holders on a single property, and each will be paid in turn.
When the IRS places a lien on a home, it means the government has a legal claim against the property due to the owner's unpaid federal taxes. This lien serves as a public notice that the IRS has a right to the property if the tax debt is not resolved, potentially complicating the sale or refinancing of the home. It can also affect the homeowner's credit score and financial standing. To remove the lien, the homeowner must pay the tax debt or negotiate a settlement with the IRS.

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.
Pay off the lien with the proceeds of the sale.
Yes, but the lienholder can only receive the actual amount of the sale.
The lien could be satisfied from the proceeds of the sale, if there are any. Answer Are you selling the Baby too? Just kidding. If you are trying to sell the house and there is a lien on it there may be a problem. Quite possibly it will need to be paid before the sale can close. You may want to lower the price of your home to get it sold quickly but also get in touch with your title company to make sure they are aware of this.
The balance of your home equity line (if it is a lien on the home you are selling) will be deducted from the money you receive at the closing of the sale and paid to the bank holding the note. That clears the loan for you and removes the lien on the house for your buyer.
