In some cases, the judgement can be removed due to being in an exempt bracket. This has to do with the category or type of lien and amount.
When there has been a lien wrongfully attached to a property, we have to find out if the legal procedure for filing the lien were followed. We see if we can get the lien removed for invalidity or defectiveness. Many property owners disagree with contractors and receive a mechanic’s lien, so we look into this.
A mechanic’s lien can be filed by any person who provides; labor, materials, machinery, fixtures, tools for construction, repair, or improvement to a house, building, levee, or embankment.
Examples of “improvements” to property for a mechanic’s lien:
It is not impossible to sell a home if it has liens or judgements against it.
It is impossible to receive a clear title from a title company. This excludes traditional lenders from letting people obtain a loan for the home.
When you purchase a home, it is important that you either get title insurance or a clear title from a title company. If a home you’ve purchased does not have a clear title and you would like to remove the liens on it, then we can help you with that.
If you have been gifted a home or inherited a property with title issues, contact us to see what we can do to remove these liens. We can check the validity and see if there is a way to remove the liens without payment. In some cases, the judgement can be removed due to being in an exempt bracket. This has to do with category or type of lien and amount.
There are some circumstances where a lien is not valid and it can be removed, not released off the property or home. We normally do releases when a lien is paid off, but we would be happy to check for you, if your lien can be removed without payment.
Sometimes it is easy to get ahold of the lien holder and remove the lien, sometimes it is not. It can take time to remove a lien or judgement from the title of a home. Every scenario is different, we can get removal in 24 hours or 2-3 months for example.
It is important to know how and why the lien was placed on your home, call us and we can look at the documentation and explain why. We can also explain if we can remove the lien without payment or not.
