What is a Lien Search?
A lien search is a process used to determine if there are any legal claims or encumbrances against a property or asset. Liens can be placed on properties by creditors, tax authorities, or other entities as a way to secure payment of a debt.
The search is typically conducted to ensure that the property or asset in question is free of any liens before a transaction, such as a sale or transfer of ownership, is completed.
There are a few different kinds of liens:
- Mortgage Liens: Claims by lenders who have provided a mortgage.
- Tax Liens: Claims by tax authorities for unpaid taxes.
- Mechanic's Liens: Claims by contractors or suppliers for unpaid work or materials.
- Judgment Liens: Claims resulting from court judgments.
Conducting a lien search is crucial for buyers and lenders to ensure there are no outstanding debts or legal claims that could affect the transaction or ownership rights.
