What does it mean if someone puts a lien on your house?
Does it mean you can't sell the house, or does it mean if you do sell the house you have to give them the share of what you owe them?
Answers:
That means that is I sell my house, even if it is 70 years down the road I will have to pay you. But I can contest the lien, and if you don't respond, I don't have to pay.
You will have to pay the amount of the lien, and then get a lien release to allow you to change title of the home.
It means that to sell the house you have to satisfy the lien. It must be paid in full, not just a "share" of what you owe them.
It means that person claims you owe them money. A buyer cannot get a deed to the property unless you pay the debt or have some reason to get the lien removed.
First you can dispute the validity of the lien and if its a debt you actually owe, you must pay it whenever you sell your house.
It means when you sell the house, the person(s) who has the lien on your house will get paid what you owe them. The lien will then be satisfied. Any additional money from the sale will go to you (or the bank if you have a mortgage). If you pay them what you owe before you sell, the lien is cancelled. They want you to sell the house so they can get paid!
