A lien holder is the finance company, bank, or individual with whom you signed an agreement to borrow money using a particular asset, such as a car or real property, as collateral. You cannot sell that asset until the loan is paid. If you don't pay the loan, the lien holder can take possession of the property.

For example:

  • You signed a contract with a finance company when you purchased your car. The finance company is the lien holder. If you default on your payments the company will take the car.
  • If you signed a mortgage for your home and default on the mortgage, the lender is the lien holder and can take possession of your home by foreclosure.

What does it mean to have a lienholder on title?

Having a lienholder on a title means that a lender or creditor has a legal claim on the property until the debt associated with it is fully paid off. This claim is typically established through a loan or mortgage agreement, indicating that the lienholder has the right to take possession of the property if the borrower defaults on the loan. The lien is recorded on the title, making it public knowledge and affecting the owner's ability to sell or refinance the property without addressing the debt first.
