Description

This form is used for liens and mortagages. Ohio Liens: In the state of Ohio, a lien refers to a legal claim placed on a property as security for the payment of a debt or an obligation. Liens can be identified in the seller's files, and they can come in various forms such as: 1. Mechanic's Lien: A mechanic's lien is created by contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers to ensure they are paid for labor, materials, or services provided for the improvement of a property. 2. Tax Lien: Tax liens are imposed by government authorities, such as the IRS or state tax agencies, when an individual or business fails to pay their taxes. These liens can be placed on personal or real property. 3. Judgment Lien: When a creditor obtains a legal judgment against a debtor, they can file a judgment lien on the debtor's property. This lien allows the creditor to potentially seize and sell the property to satisfy the debt. Ohio Mortgages/Deeds of Trust: Mortgages and deeds of trust are legal instruments used to secure financing for real estate transactions. They are also commonly found in the seller's files and serve as evidence of a loan. 1. Mortgage: A mortgage is a document that grants a lender an interest in the property as security for a loan. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender can initiate foreclosure to recover their investment. 2. Deed of Trust: A deed of trust is similar to a mortgage but involves three parties: the borrower, the lender, and a trustee. The trustee holds legal title to the property until the loan is paid off or in the event of default. Ohio UCC Statements: UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) statements in Ohio serve as public records and provide notice of a secured interest in personal property. UCC statements found in the seller's files may include: 1. Financing Statement: This document is filed by a creditor to establish their security interest in certain personal property belonging to the debtor. 2. Fixture Filing: If personal property is permanently attached to real estate, a fixture filing is made to ensure the property cannot be removed without satisfying the creditor's claim. Ohio Bankruptcies: Bankruptcy filings are significant legal actions that impact the financial status and obligations of individuals or businesses. Within the seller's files, one can find: 1. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: This type of bankruptcy involves the liquidation of assets to repay creditors. Upon successful completion, eligible debts are discharged, providing the debtor with a fresh start. 2. Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: Chapter 13 allows individuals to restructure and repay their debts over a specified period (typically 3-5 years) through a court-approved repayment plan. Ohio Lawsuits Identified in Seller's Files: Lawsuits found in the seller's files may include a variety of legal actions initiated against the seller or actions taken by the seller against others. Some common types of lawsuits that can be identified include: 1. Breach of Contract Lawsuit: Arises when one party fails to fulfill the terms of a contract, causing financial harm to the other party. 2. Personal Injury Lawsuit: Typically filed when someone suffers harm due to another party's negligent or intentional actions. 3. Property Disputes: Lawsuits related to property ownership, easements, boundaries, or trespassing. 4. Collections Lawsuits: Legal actions taken to recover unpaid debts, such as unpaid credit card bills or outstanding loans. It is essential to review and understand these records as they can provide valuable insights into the property's financial and legal status. Consulting with legal professionals or experts in the relevant field is recommended to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the specific documents found in the seller's files.
