I suggest you retain an attorney, but you don't have to. Then, sue for foreclosure of the assessment lien. The lawsuit should be filed in a court of general jurisdiction in the county where you live. See your county or state bar association for info. Also keep in mind that liens expire--in 8 mos. in WA--so you should act quickly to protect your interest.

Yes. A note on the interest part--your state's law will dictate what interest, if any, you will receive. And you will assume the HOA's liability--if the lien is later declared invalid, you will be responsible for the homeowner's court costs. Make sure that it is a part of the sale of the lien that the HOA will cooperate in any foreclosure proceedings that might occur to collect the lien--without them, the homeowner will likely win.

The HOA filed a lien against your title for a reason. The reason is probably past-due assessments. This action cannot be a surprise. Liens are filed by attorneys in the local hall of records, so they become public documents. An attorney who filed the lien probably extended you the courtesy of notice of the filing. If the HOA filed a lien for a different purpose that you feel is unjustified, best practices dictate that you hire counsel to fight the lien. If you prevail, you may well be awarded attorney's fees.
