FAQ
Liens are a common way for creditors to collect what they're owed. When someone puts a lien on your property, that property effectively becomes collateral for the debt. To sell or refinance the property, you must have clear title. A lien on your house, mobile home, car, or other property makes your title unclear.
One of the key protections is a time limit on how long a recorded lien can remain valid and enforceable without the lien claimant initiating a lawsuit to foreclose on it. In other words, liens usually will “expire” if the claimant takes no action within the specified period.
