Perhaps you're in debt. There are several types liens available, including Real estate liens (Tax liens), Judgment lien(s) and real-estate liens (Real Estate liens). It is crucial to understand which type of lien you have on your property in order to protect yourself. You should not only learn about the types of liens but also know your state's statute of limitations.
Real estate liens
It is important to know how real estate liens work before you purchase property. These liens are a way to secure payment on a debt. They make the property your collateral. The lender can foreclose on the property if the borrower doesn't pay. There are two types of liens.
Tax liens
Tax liens may be attractive investments but can also be risky. Individual investors should research the options before making a final 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 look into liens and check for recent tax sales. Be sure to look for other liens as well, as this can make ownership more complicated. Don't forget to check for any other liens. Tax lien information may also be incorrect.
Judgment liens
A judgment lien allows a debtor to collect on a debt they have been awarded by a court. It attaches directly to the debtor’s real property and lasts up to five years. This certificate can be obtained by filing a certified of judgment with a clerk of common pleas of the county in which the debtor resides. This can include land as well as any fixtures that were attached.
Judicial liens
When it comes to real estate, judgment liens can be a powerful tool for creditors. These liens are placed upon a debtor’s property to make sure that the debt is paid in full. The process for placing a judgment liens on real estate property is quite simple. It starts by asking for an abstract to the judgment from your court of entry. This abstract is then filed with all the counties in which real estate is owned by the debtor. The creditor can then foreclose on the debtor’s property or try to sell it after the judgment is filed.
Bank and judgment liens
To secure repayment of the debt, a creditor can place a lien against the property of a debtor if they obtain a judgment against them. This lien is filed on the county records. A variety of reasons can lead to the imposition of liens on properties. These include payment for money judgments and back taxes.
Sheriff's sale
To prevent a sheriff from selling your property, you must understand the procedure. The first step is to file a PRAECIPE with the Clerk of Courts. PRAECIPEs are used to inform the court about the owner's intention to sell the property. This document should be received at least thirty days before the date of sale.
Refinance with lien
People who have liens on property are often curious about refinancing options. 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. This is essential because it can negatively impact your credit.
