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.

What is Ohio law concerning liens on property?
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.
If you are co-owners of property and one dies who owns the property?
What happens to real property upon the death of a co-owner must be set forth in the deed by which the parties acquire their interests.
If you own property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or tenants by the entirety, when one dies, the survivor automatically becomes the sole owner of the real estate bypassing probate. The only responsibility of the survivor is to record a death certificate in the land records to clear the title. Tenancy by the entirety is reserved for legally married couples in those states that allow T by E ownership.
When two people own property as tenants-in-common, when one dies their half interest will pass to their heirs by their will or by the state laws of intestacy if there is no will.
The term "joint tenancy" should be reserved for a joint tenancy with the right of survivorship. Although many sources refer to tenants in common as a form of joint ownership that is a misuse of the term and is misleading. Joint tenancy and tenancy in common are properly referred to as different forms of co-ownership or concurrent ownership.
How long is state of Florida mechanics lien valid?
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.

Can a lien be put on your house because your spouse owes money to their former spouse?
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.
How do you obtain a lien release from dime auto finance?
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.)
Can your car be repossessed if the finance company accepts payments of less than the amount due?
Bottom line: YES it can. Although many things could factor into this answer, such as, have they given you anything in written form stating the new terms? Have you renegotiated your loan terms? When faced will something or nothing, most creditors are willing to work out something with you but are not bound by anything other than the terms of the contract. Although this point could be argued in a court of law. More input from FAQ Farmers: * If a person is sending or making payments of a lesser amount it doesn't mean the finance co 'accepts' these payments as acceptable. You would always want to discuss the situation with the finance co to see if the payment amount and dates being paid are acceptable. I work for a large finance co and we always try to work with the customer while they are trying to bring their account current. We won't repo a car if the customer is making the payments as discussed/agreed (which is always noted on an account) but if those payments aren't made or are late and we don't hear from the customer, there's a good chance repo is in process. Bottom line... the bank paid that car off for you, and they 'own it' until you pay them back. Work with them and they'll work with you.

Sue them in small claims court. * Paying the taxes does not necessarily mean that the owner of the property would be legally obligated to repay the lender or said person would have any legal clam to the property in question. The party who paid the taxes needs to obtain a promissory note from the property owner showing the tax payment was a loan. That being the case, the lender might be able to recover money spent (as noted in a previous response) by suing the debtor in small claims or another state court, if the lender did not voluntarily repay the loan. Please be advised, the majority of US small claims courts are for monetary recovery only. Therefore, it might not be possible to execute a small claims judgment as a lien against real property.
