Liens

No, such an action is not possible, and even if it were it would not protect the person's property from creditor action. Personal and real property belonging to a debtor are protected from creditor attachment to the extent provided by the laws of the debtor's state. The exemptions that can be used to protect specific property against a judgment creditor are the same ones that are used when filing bankruptcy and in certain circumstances federal non-bankruptcy exemptions can be used as well.

only if they have a lien on the the title for any service that you have not paid for. its called a mechanics lien.

Even if they have a mechanics lien, they still have to notify the registered owner via certified mail, and give them a chance to pay the bill. You can't just get a title or magistrate's bill of sale without proof that you have done everything possible to contact the owner first. The owner has 30 days to contact the person that has the vehicle. If they don't, then the vehicle can be sold at a magistrates auction and will be given a title for the vehicle.

A prudent buyer would require that the lien be paid off before the sale. If not the buyer would purchase the rights subject to the lien.

You need to sue for back rent and if you are successful you can request a judgment lien. The lien can be filed against the property.

In a 'worst case scenario' probably they can. They have a legal lien against your property to satisfy an unpaid debt that is owed them. If they take you to court and are awarded a judgment against you, and your home is your only monetary asset, the court COULD order you to sell it to in order to pay off the lien.

yes

You should be able to remove all of your belongings within a certain time frame. However, it is not very long: maybe a day or so. Usually people have received warning that eviction will occur and they should plan accordingly to remove everything within that time.

Most places have title insurance companies that would do a title search for you for a fee, but you can go down to your local property record office (like a Register of Deeds or County Clerk) and search yourself for free. If you go the title insurance route, the company will guarantee the accuracy of their findings for you so you can rely on them, but again, you have to pay.

A Mechanic's lien can be placed on a jointly owned home without the necessity of a lawsuit. All other liens against real property even that which is jointly owned must be obtained through the prescribed legal procedure (lawsuit) of the state in which the property is located.

2 years. However, it will not go away from your credit report and from that company's records. Better to figure out how to pay the bill sooner than later. You used the service; you owe the company the money.

The name and address of the lienholder will be on the title under the name of the owner.

According to Kansas Homestead exemption, homeowners are limited by the amount of land they protect but can exempt unlimited value in their homes. Protection for up to 160 acres of farmland and 1 acre of land within city limits is possible under Kansas homestead exemption.

BK proceedings will stop repo. action temporarily. A car is a secured debt, whether or not the lender will let you reaffirm your loan is entirely their decision. Most will if they feel you are going to be able to honor the contract. Repossesion is ususally more aggravation than profit for the lender. There may be, however certain BK statutes in your state that govern how such actions are governed.

No child and/or spousal support are not dischargeable in a chapter 7 BK. It is my understanding that child support, student loans, taxes owed, and things along that line cannot be included in a bankruptcy.

There are a number of types of liens on real estate in Ohio (as well as most states). The most common it a property tax lien, which will be on all property as we pay our real estate taxed in arrears. The next most common type of lien is a Mortgage, a consensual lien that the owner of the property has given to someone else to secure the payment of a debt or the performance of some act. There are also judgment liens, liens that arise after a lawsuit is complete where the winner, if owed money, can file a lien against the real property of the loser. Then there are mechanic's liens, which are liens by construction managers, contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers or laborers who performed labor or supplied materials or both, in furtherance of a construction project. The lien is against the improved real estate. There are many other kinds of liens, most of which have different methods of securing them and different lengths of time that they remain valid. Some are renewable (mechanic's liens are not). I tend to speak from the perspective of mechanic's liens as I am a construction lawyer in Cleveland. I have attached a link to articles that I wrote for the Builders Exchange Magazine which you may find helpful. Most are about mechanic's liens, some are about construction related topics.

The length of a judgment depends upon the laws of the state in which the judgment is filed. Most judgments are valid from 5-20 years and some can be renewed at expiration. The information needed can be obtained from the land assessor's office in the county where the property on which the lien was placed is located. Mechanic's liens, on the other hand, are not judgments, but are only LIENS that are creatures of statute, so the duration of time that a lien remains valid should be set forth in the statute. I am an Ohio attorney, so I will speak from the perspective of an Ohio mechanic's lien. Our MLs are valid for 6 years from the date of filing. They cannot be renewed. Other states have MUCH shorter time periods. I know of some that are as short as 1 year, and as I do not know them all, there may be some shorter than that. The American Subcontractors Association has a manual entitled Mechanic's Liens and Bond Claims in 50 States. I have attached a link to the ASA website. I have attached a link to some articles that I have written on Mechanic's Liens which were published in the Builders Exchange Magazine.

Almost anyone to whom you are indebted that is awarded a judgment in a lawsuit or that is eligible to file a Mechanic's Lien. In most US states judgments awarded in small claims court are of a monetary nature only and cannot be executed as liens against real property owned by the debtor.

Technically speaking, no. However, if you want to be sure you've done it right and in such a way that it will actually stand up in court if challenged, having a lawyer is probably a good idea.

Your first step should be to contact an attorney. Beware of self-help lien forms that are on the market. These will work fine if you are experienced in your state's real estate laws. If you are not experienced, even a small mistake can be grounds for voiding the lien and an award of attorney's fees in favor of the person who owes you money.

It depends upon the state in which the married couple reside and the way in which the property in question is titled.

In community property states both spouses are considered responsible for debts incurred during the marriage therefore all marital property would be attacheable.

If the property is titled Tenancy By The Entirety (not available in PC states) the property cannot be encumbered by liens when only one spouse is the named debtor.

Please note, it is the responsibility of the non debtor spouse to present the court and/or judgment creditor with valid documentation of the status of the property.

If your question relates to an auto loan, as soon as you pay off the loan, the lender will forward you the original title and the lien holder box (indicating who has a lien on the vehicle title) will be signed (indicating it has been satisfied and released).

Once you have the vehicle title properly signed, you can freely trade or sell the vehicle.

If you sell the vehicle as part of a trade with a dealer they are willing to take the vehicle and upon payoff, they will get the title directly from the lender. (You'll be signing a release and authorization as part of the transaction.)
