The easiest way to eliminate the lien amount is to rectify the issue by contacting the bank executive or clearing the dues.
The document is a 'Release of Lien Claim' form for the state of Illinois, which allows a claimant to formally discharge a lien that was previously filed against a property. It includes sections for the claimant's information, details about the lien being released, and requires notarization.
You can sell it with the original notarized lien release stapled to the title. You'll have to talk to your buyer to see if they're good with that, they may want to retitle with the lien cleared first.
Wyoming, Texas, and Mississippi are the only states that require a person signing a lien waiver to have it notarized. The notarization requirement does not apply in Washington and Oregon, the two states we primarily serve at Northwest Lien.
In case of technical errors or arbitrary lien imposition, contact your bank's customer care and follow up with them to remove it. You can also visit your bank branch and speak to officials there to understand the lien reason and get clarity on resolution steps.
