FAQ
A mortgage creates a lien on your property that gives the lender the right to foreclose and sell the home to satisfy the debt. A deed of trust (sometimes called a trust deed) is also a document that gives the lender the right to sell the property to satisfy the debt should you fail to pay back the loan.
Once the first lienholder has been paid off, they may submit their lien release electronically (if they are members of the KS E-Lien system), or by providing it to the owner who will then submit it to the local county treasurer's office or fax it to the Titles and Registrations Bureau at 785-296-2383.
While it's unlikely that just anyone can put a lien on your home or land, it's not unheard of for a court decision or a settlement to result in a lien being placed against a property.
If you want to place a lien on a commercial rental property and you are not the landlord, you may need to put a lien on the property by filing with the court of record in the jurisdiction where the property is actually located.
2. States where the lien law doesn't require a written contract. In these states, contractors and suppliers are generally allowed to file a lien even if they don't have a written contract.These states typically permit parties with verbal, oral, or even implied contracts to claim lien rights.
The lien can be released on the title, a notarized lien release, Form TR-150, or a letter from the lienholder releasing the lien. If the title for the vehicle was issued from another state (not a Kansas title) or the Bill of Sale is from an out of state owner, a vehicle inspection is required.
If the vehicle owner wishes to remove a lien holder's name from a registration receipt, an application for reissued title must be made at the local county treasurer's motor vehicle office. Bring the notarized lien release and a title will be requested and mailed to you within 5 to 7 days.
The release of lien for an electronic title may be accomplished by providing this completed form to the person who satisfied the lien, purchased the vehicle, or requested the release, and/or by faxing it to the Title & Registration Bureau at (785) 296-2383 or e-mail to KDOR_TR@ks.gov.
Prepare lien form, taking care to include the necessary information as set forth above, and sign the document with the verification statement. Send the original notarized copy to the office of the clerk of the district court of the county in which property is located.
