So how do liens expire from a property and how do you identify that this is Dave at
titlesearch.com a lien on the property may automatically go away
by statute it may expire after some period time
this is different based on the type of lien some liens
take a longer time to expire than others based on the type of mechanics lien
a tax lien even a municipal water lien may have different priorities and may
expire at different times so make sure you understand that about your county in
the statutes
it also may be different based on when the lien was filed the statutes may have
changed so a
lien that was filed in 1992 may have a 10-year expiration date but they may have
changed the laws in 2000 so that liens after that date may only have a
seven-year
expiration so keep that in mind as well understand that some liens may be
reinstated so that if the creditor had a lien there was about to expire or even did
expire
they may be able to reactivate it by taking certain steps and
doing new filings can the lien be redeemed meaning that can the
debtor can the person who owes the money do something to pay part of it and have
it
reactivate on the property that something that many times occurs
also don't be afraid to look at
if that lien has replaced by another one if the lean
was clear from the property but remains a debt to that person
it may come back around and be an
effective lien on their property because it's a file judgment in the
county
if that underlying debt is a judgment against the owner it very likely attaches
again by statute if you have questions about liens and expirations or any other
title records
