FAQ
For the most part, whether a lien is a "property lien" or a "judgment lien" depends on how the creditor got the lien. Creditors typically acquire property liens through your voluntary consent. On the other hand, creditors get judgment liens after winning a lawsuit against you for a debt you owe.
Most judgments (the court order saying what you're owed) expire in 10 years. This means you can't collect on it after 10 years. To avoid this, you can ask the court to renew it. A renewal lasts 10 years.
Of the three types of liens (consensual, statutory, and judgment), the judgment lien is the most dangerous form, but one which the informed business owner may be able to eliminate. A judicial lien is created when a court grants a creditor an interest in the debtor's property, after a court judgment.
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.
Enforcing Your Judgment Get in touch with the judgment debtor. Levy (seize) assets that you have personal knowledge of. Examine judgment debtor in court to locate unknown assets. Suspend the judgment debtor's driver's license if the judgment is for auto accident.
An involuntary lien can occur without your knowledge, depending on the circumstances. A creditor often places a judgment lien after suing you and winning the case.
A lien expires 10 years from the date of recording or filing, unless we extend it. If we extend the lien, we will send a new Notice of State Tax Lien and record or file it with the county recorder or California Secretary of State.
In California, a lien must be enforced within 90 days of filing. If the lien is not perfected within this timeframe, it becomes unenforceable, and the contractor or supplier may lose the right to payment through the lien process.
Here are a few ways to remove the lien: Invalidate the lien. If the lien is invalid or was obtained in a manner that doesn't follow the procedural requirements under the law, an attorney may be able to strip the lien from the property. Satisfy the debt. Negotiate a lower payoff. File for bankruptcy.
