FAQ
A state income tax lien is an example of a general lien because it can attach to all property of the debtor. In contrast, mortgage liens, real estate tax liens, and mechanic's liens are specific to certain assets.
There's only one office where mechanics liens can be recorded. This is the Office of the Recorder of Deeds- Land Records Division. Before you go down to the office, or otherwise send out your claim, you should contact the office ahead of time to ensure that you have all the required documents and filing fees.
Judgements can become a first lien against a property. Lenders generally want to be first lien when it comes to mortgages. So yes, it will be deal breaker for most mortgage companies. I've seen mortgages get denied because of a $6000 judgement.
A judgment lien is a court ruling that gives a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor's property if the debtor fails to fulfill their contractual obligations.
The most common ways you may find out that there are outstanding judgements against you in one of the following ways: letter in the mail or phone call from the collection attorneys; garnishee notice from your payroll department; freeze on your bank account; or. routine check of your credit report.
Lien and Judgment Negotiation Locate your creditor and find out how much you owe: This can often be the most challenging part of lien negotiation. Evaluate and explain whether it is worth it to try and negotiate the lien or judgment: Some liens are negotiable and some aren't. Negotiate: Negotiation is an art.
Homeowners can sell properties with liens. For a buyer to take possession of the property, the seller will need to clear title and satisfy all outstanding liens.
If you believe your lien is not valid and the creditor will not rectify the situation, you can file a motion in court and ask a judge to remove the lien. This can be difficult to prove, so clear evidence will be required.
A judgment lien is valid for ten years. N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 5203.
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. This means that it is possible to no longer have a judgment against you, but still have a judgment lien on your property.
