Can you put a lien on property owned by your brother and you?

You should consult with an attorney. If you won a judgment lien against your brother and you own property together you may be able to record a lien against his interest in the property. In that case, if he should find a buyer willing to purchase his interest in the property, his interest would be subject to the lien and it would have to be paid before he could transfer his interest.

However, remember that if you mend your differences and try to sell or mortgage the property, the lien must be released before the transaction can be completed.

Will filing bankruptcy defeat liens from a court judgment?

Judgment liens survive a bankruptcy unless you file a motion to remove the liens under section 522(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Even then, the court can only strip the lien if it interferes with your right to claim the property as exempt. An exemption is the amount of equity in the property that the law allows you to keep in a bankruptcy. In California, the homestead exemption is $75,000 for most married couples. Suppose you have a condo worth $250,000, mortgages that total $200,000 and a judgment lien for $10,000. The judgment lien interferes with the homestead exemption and could be stripped if the proper motion was filed in a chapter 7 bankruptcy.

How do you go about getting a lien on a contractor who has not paid their invoices?

Regardless of the circumstances a creditor or lender who desires to recover money owed by means of a judgment lien due process of law must be followed. The creditor must file a lawsuit in the state court of venue against the borrower. If the creditor wins the suit a judgment will be entered against the defendant debtor. Judgments can be used as wage garnishment, bank account levy, seizure and sale of non-exempt property, or liens against real property belonging to the debtor. Please be advised all states have specified types and amounts of real and personal property that can be exempted by the debtor from creditor action. The creditor should use caution before executing a judgment against any jointly owned property. This is especially true of marital property and assets in non-community property states where only one spouse is the debtor.

How can you find out if there is a lien on your house?

It is possible to go to the Register Of Deeds office at your county court house. Take along a tax bill or something else with the legal description of your property. Someone there will help but be prepared to spend several hours. Another more costly way would be to have a local title company run a search for you. You could find one in the YP or any search engine.

Depending upon where you live, the city Town Hall assessor's office is a good place to start. Now in New England most assessor's offices are on line and you can find the liens placed on a piece of real property in the town's database system. You can always check through the recording books to double check. A good real estate attorney always has someone in their office doing this for a small fee if you do not want to do it yourself.

I live in a condo complex Can the Board of Trustees distribute condo information by putting it under the red flag on the ownners' mailboxes?

It's a good idea to read your governing documents regarding distribution of notices before you distribute any, because in doing so, you may be notified of a violation if you do so 'illegally'.

Your governing documents provide for official notification to owners from the board and may also guide you in distribution of informal communications.


It's a good idea to include the board in any communication to owners, perhaps by requesting permission to distribute the communication and requesting board approval.

Are there limits on the storage fees repossession agents can charge?

To the best of my knowledge there is no limit. This is their way of robbing people and unfortunatly the city usually just wants the car MOVED so they don't crack down on the fees the companies that move the cars charge. The finance company that has it repo'd pays them to tow it and allowing them to rob you keeps their costs down they have to pay the tow company also.

in the state of Virginia-each jurisdiction has a towing board made up of tow company owners and public officials that regulate what towing companies can charge for towing/impounding/storage/accident recovery/etc. and also how far your car can be taken when impounded or towed. you should check with your local police or sheriff office to see if the repo company falls under their jurisdiction as far as storage costs go when repossession is involved

Depends on the state the vehicle was picked up. To the best of my knowledge most states do not regulate this. One of the reasons for high storage rates by the recovery agency is many finance companies are asking for free storage unless the debtor redeems the vehicle. The repossessor can't afford to pay for his lot or garage without collecting storage from someone. Plus there is the additional burden of insurance while the vehicle is being stored. The average deductible for repo insurance is $1000.00 to $1500.00. for each claim. You also have the costs for security and lot attendants who not only release the vehicle but must do all the paperwork for the finance companies.

I know you don't like to hear this but the fact is many agencies are now losing money when it comes to total cost of storing the vehicles. This could all be resolved if the finance companies would quit placing the burden on the recovery agency and added all to the original repossession fee. In their attempts to hold down their own costs they are forcing the recovery company to sign unfair contracts in the first place. Strange as it may seem almost every major lender has almost the same contract and the recovery eithers signs this or has no work.

Your annual budget, which a board member can provide you, lists the line items for bills the association expects to pay during the year with the assessment dollars it collects.

Usually the line items include professional services, maintenance services and reserves contributions.

Every condominium association develops its own unique budget, because each community has different amenities, mixes of limited and commonly owned real estate assets and is in a unique physical condition and locale.

Where do you find out how much social security you have earned since you started working?
