If you are in debt, you may be wondering how a lien works. There are several types liens available, including Real estate liens (Tax liens), Judgment lien(s) and real-estate liens (Real Estate liens). To protect yourself, it is essential to know which type lien you have on your property. Not only should you be familiar with these types of lien, but you also need to know the statute of limitations for your state.
Real estate liens
When you want to purchase a property, it's important to understand how real estate liens work. These liens are a way to secure payment on a debt. They make the property your collateral, and if you don't pay, the lender can foreclose on it. There are two types of liens.
Tax liens
Tax liens can be lucrative investments, but they are also notoriously risky. As a result, individual investors should do their research before making a decision. Experts warn investors to avoid properties with severe environmental damage. This could affect their ability of gaining ownership in the event that the property is put into foreclosure. Investors should research any liens that may be attached to the property, as well as recent tax sales and prices of similar properties. Other liens may also need to be looked into as they can complicate ownership. Keep in mind, however, that tax lien information could be incorrect or out of date.
Judgment liens
A judgment lien gives a debtor the right to collect on a judgement that was given to them by a judge. It attaches the debtor's property and lasts 5 years. It is obtained by filing a certificate of judgment with the clerk of common pleas for the county where the debtor owns real property. This can include land or any fixtures attached to it.
Judicial liens
In real estate cases, judgment liens may be a powerful tool to creditors. These liens can be placed on the property of a debtor to ensure that they pay off the debt in full. It is simple to put a judgment on real estate. It all starts with requesting an abstract form the court of entry. This abstract is then filed with all the counties in which real estate is owned by the debtor. After the judgment has been filed, the creditor may foreclose or sell the debtor's property.
Bank and judgment liens
Creditors can place a lien upon the property of debtors to obtain repayment of debts when they get a judgment against them. This lien is filed on the county records. You can impose liens on property in many circumstances. This includes to get payment for money judgments or back taxes.
Sheriff's sale
You need to understand how to stop a sheriff selling your property. First, the owner must file a "PRAECIPE" with the Clerk of Courts. PRAECIPEs inform the court of the owner's intent to sell the property. This document should be received at least thirty days before the date of sale.
Refinance using a lien
Many people who have liens on their property wonder if they can refinance with them. Liens on your property are not uncommon, but it is possible for you to refinance. To be eligible for a loan, you will need to pay off any liens against your property. It can have a negative impact on your credit rating.
