FAQ

In the U.S. the term "security interest" is often used interchangeably with "lien". However, the term "lien" is more often associated with the collateral of real property than with of personal property. A security interest is typically granted by a "security agreement".

Consensual liens are voluntary. As the name implies, consensual liens are those to which you voluntarily consent, as a result of a loan or other advance of credit. The property purchased secures the buyer's obligation to pay for the property.

A specific lien attaches only to a specific property identified in the lien. Examples of specific liens include: -Property tax lien when taxes are not paid. -Mortgage lien when a mortgage is used in financing.

Specific liens, on the other hand, apply to one specific asset. Mortgage liens, for example, are specific to the house you mortgage. If you were to default on the mortgage for your investment property, the bank could place a lien against that property, but would not be entitled to your primary residence.

When you buy a house using a mortgage, the lender has a legal right to seize your property, if you don't pay the mortgage. Your house basically is the collateral for the mortgage loan and when you borrow money to buy it, a mortgage lien is put on your house, until you pay off your mortgage.
