And a homeowner may find it difficult to sell any property that has a lien against it. Prospective buyers may avoid a property to which someone else has a claim.
The judgment lien is not going to impact a homesteaded property so the mortgage lender would be able to obtain a first lien on your property. So, as long as you otherwise qualify for a mortgage, the judgment lien should not be a problem.
If you would like to record the mechanics lien yourself, you can do so at the following King County Recorder's Offices: 500 Fourth Ave #430, Seattle, WA 98104. kingcounty/depts/records-licensing/recorders-office.aspx.
What Do You Do When There Is A Judgment Lien On Your Property, But The Judgment Has Expired? Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years.
A judgment lien expires after 5 years from the date it is recorded but may be rerecorded once for another period of 5 years not less than 120 days before the expiration of the initial judgment.
A creditor must file and be approved for a property lien through a county records office. Different states may have their own processes for lien filing. Often, the creditor will notify the debtor of the lien.
As further bad news, default judgments do not simply vanish. The lien of a default judgment lasts five years and may be easily and repeatedly revived and transferred to other counties or states.
It shows up on your credit report as well as on any background checks. The judgment is considered a lien against your property, including any real estate that you have, in the state in which the judgment is filed.
Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years. However, when a judgment lien has been recorded against your property, it has no expiration date.
Common notification methods include sending multiple unpaid bills in the mail but these bills can be lost or not reach the appropriate person before a lien is placed. They can also arrive when the previous homeowner was at the property but cease by the time a new homeowner moves in.
