Massachusetts Third Party Claim Notice of Lien is a document issued by a third party to the owner of a debt, informing them of a lien filed against the debtor’s real estate to secure payment of the debt. This document serves as a warning to the owner of the debt that the third party has a legal claim to the property, which could be sold to satisfy the debt. It also allows the third party to take possession of the property if the debt is not paid. There are two main types of Massachusetts Third Party Claim Notice of Lien: Mechanic’s Liens and Judgment Liens. Mechanic’s Liens are used when a contractor, carpenter, plumber, or other trades person provides services to a property owner, and the owner does not pay for the services. A Judgment Lien is used when a court orders a debtor to pay a certain amount of money to a creditor, and the debtor does not pay. In both cases, the Notice of Lien is served to the owner of the debt to inform them of the lien and the potential consequences of not paying.
