FAQ
A property owner can choose to place a lien on their property. A voluntary lien is a claim over the property that a homeowner agrees to give to a creditor as security for the payment of a debt. A mortgage lien is the most common type of voluntary real estate lien, also called a deed of trust lien in some states.
Place a lien on property. To do this, fill out an EJ-001 Abstract of Judgment form and take it to the clerk's office. After the clerk stamps it, record it at the County Recorder's Office in the county where the property is located.
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.
Unconditional lien waivers are valid, but only if they follow the form provided by Californian statutes. California has no requirement that a lien waiver must be notarized; in fact, this could even invalidate the form.
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. We will not release expired liens.
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.
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.
Personal property such as medical equipment, work tools, and basic household items are generally exempt from seizure by a judgment creditor. Negotiating a payment plan with the creditor is often the best approach to avoid prolonged and stressful collection efforts.
