What is the Difference between a Junior Mortgage and a second mortgage?

The difference is really all in how the loans were originated. A junior mortgage refers to the lien placement on the property title. A second mortgage means a mortgagor has more than one loan on a property with the same lender.

For example, If I purchase a home (assuming the title is clean and there are no liens on the title) and get the loan with ABC Bank then ABC Bank is considered the senior mortgage. If I obtain another loan with ABC Bank most commonly a HELOC or Home Equity Line of Credit then it is a second mortgage in second position. Let's say that after I obtained the second loan with ABC Bank, I chose to take out a smaller loan against the property with XYZ Bank. That loan will be considered a junior lien.

The loans won't always fall that clean on the title however. You can have a junior lien between a senior lien and second mortgage. In the example above if the XYZ Bank loan was taken out before the second mortgage with ABC Bank then it would still be called a junior lien and the second mortgage with ABC Bank would be the second mortgage with ABC Bank but in third position.

Hope that helps!

How do you put a lien on a home in New York Kings County?

Either hire a lawyer who is a member of the New York state bar association to do it for you, or go in person to the county court in that county, and speak to the clerk of the court for advice on how to lodge a lien on the property.

Be sure to take ALL the documents that support your case, and be prepared to pay a fee and go before a Judge to swear your evidence in the case is true/ correct. If you succed, a lien will be placed on the deed in the county records , and the property cannot be sold until it is paid off in full.

What does it mean to put a lien on someone's condo?

A lien is a legal instrument which prevents the property it is attached to from being transferred, sold, refinanced, and so forth by the owners until the debt pertaining to the judgment lien is paid in full or satisfied.

A "perfected lien" against real property becomes a secured debt and in some states under specific conditions it allows the lien holder to petition the court for the forced sale of the named property.

Another Answer

When a lien is filed on a condominium, the lien is based on a standing agreement between the owner and the association that the owner will pay monies to the association which have not been paid. There is no 'judgement' involved.

You can find the details of this agreement in the association's governing documents.

Once a lien is filed, it not only clouds title to the property, as above, but can appear on the owner's credit report.

Where can you find out if a property has any liens or judgments?

AnswerCheck your local land records office. Liens and judgments that affect the title to real estate must be recorded in the land records. The property will be listed as well as any reference to the property such as where the property is located in the record books. Get the book and page number, go to the clerk's office for this book. Anything pertaining to the property will be referenced here.

"Hire a title search attorney. They assume the liability."

If a surviving parent has a lien against property they own and now they reside in a nursing home can ownership be transferred by quick deed?

Yes, as long as the buyer is willing to accept title subject to the lien, in other words, pay it off to clear the title, or accept the risk that nobody else will ever want to buy it with the lien.

Many people buy properties with liens, fully expecting to pay off the liens as part of the "price" of ownership, and the compensation to the seller is adjusted accordingly.

For example, I offered to buy a property in foreclosure and pay off the lien for timber taxes as part of the "deal." Buyer pays off the notes, seller pays off the tax liens, obtains clear title and an extra tax deduction.

I'm 76 years old with only social security as income. Is there any breaks and/or assistance on my property taxes If so, how do I go about receiving it Thanks for any info.?

I am not sure where you are located, but here in Florida we have a "Homestead Exemption" where you can reduce your property's appraisal by $25,000.00 thus saving on your property taxes. You can find out more information at your local tax collector or property appraisers office.

In WA state and I suspect in similar statse you can contact your local county assesor via telephone or online and request an application to have your taxes either deffered or forgiven depending on your financial status and ability to repay the debt. These programs are designed primarily for the disabled or elderly age 61 or better. Typically you're given 30 days to fill in and have this application reviewed however in extreame cases the application may turned in within the 30 day time frame.

How long does it take to get a judgment?

Once the paper is filed the judgment begins soon after

By obtaining what's known as "revivor" of a judgment in a timely manner, you may be able to keep a small claims judgment alive indefinitely.

Added: In my experience MOST cases were decided immediately while both parties were in court, only very occasionally was a case continued for the judge/magistrate to perform some type of further inquiry into the circumstances before ruling.

On the other hand, if you are asking how long it takes to COLLECT the judgment, that depends on the circumstances of each individual case.

Please review your lien documents and notifications.

Often, release of the lien is your responsibility. A Release of Lien is made available to the debtor by the association's attorney, and the debtor takes the Release to the local courthouse and pays for the lien to be released.

Your association's board or association manager can help you determine who's responsible in your particular situation.

A lien can only be placed against property after a lawsuit is filed and won. The plaintiff receives a judgment which in some cases can be used to place a lien against real property.

If a judgment is entered against you in a county where you don't reside does the creditor have to file a new lawsuit in the county where you do reside?

No, once the judgment is granted, it applies to you, not your county. All they need is your new address. * Perhaps. If the judgment holder wants to enforce the judgment in a method other than filing an abstract judgment against the debtor's real property then the creditor will have to file a suit in the county where the debtor resides. Judgments granted in one county or state can only be transferred to another county or state as liens against real property owned by the debtor.

How is real property divided when one of the signers or owners dies?

Depends on the state law, of the state the property is located. Typically, if there is no will, or a will with no dictation of the property, then the property goes to the co-owners by default. Same with bank accounts. * The wording of the titling of real property always determines how said property can be partitioned, sold or transferred.

Is it possible to put a lien on someone's house or property after thirty years?
