If you have property that is paid off and are afraid of this then talk to an attorney about putting it in an irrevocable trust with you as the manager. You should do this anyway.

A Different Perspective

A lien creates an interest in real estate that runs in favor of the entity that records the lien. You already own the interest in the real estate so you cannot place a lien on something you already own. To protect your property from future liens you can transfer the property to a valid trust as suggested above. You can also check into recording a Declaration of Homestead. A Homestead protects your primary residence from a forced sale by a creditor. Homestead protection may vary from state to state. You may be able to execute one at the land records office in your jurisdiction. The local Register of Deeds provides an information packet, the form and an acknowledgement for anyone who wants to record one.

Yes, if the debt is in your name and the property belongs to you. The creditor needs to sue you in court and win a judgment. It can then request a judgment lien and have it recorded in the land records. You cannot sell or mortgage your property until the lien is paid.

Can I put a lien on U.S. Government property to secure repayment of loan

<><><>

In general, no. You may make a claim against a government body for monies owed you, and MAY be able to file suit. But a lien is usually not legally possible. See an attorney in your state.

If you have a landlord then you don't own the house. A lien on a house would be against the owner of the property. The landlord owns the house and they wouldn't place a lien on their own property.

If you owe a debt to a landlord they can file an eviction in the housing court and file a lawsuit against you for the money you owe.

You need to provide more details. If you transferred property to avoid the lien the IRS will reach back and place a lien on the property and if they eventually take possession will claim your transfer was fraudulent. If the lien was recorded against property you never had any interest in it may be invalid. You should contact an attorney to determine the validity of the lien.

Yes, a creditor can definitely place a lien on someone's home. In fact, a lien can be placed on anything that the individual owns.

How do you lien a house in Canada?

I can only assume you are asking how can someone put a lien on a home in Canada? The owner of the home would have to owe you or the government a lot of money before you could put a lien on their home and even if it was a private affair I'm not 100% sure a private party can put a lien on someone's home. It's usually banks and or money owed to governments who put liens on a persons home.


What does is mean to have a lien on ones property and tenets?

A lien is a security interest in the property. A lien might arise from a loan. If you buy a car with the bank's money the bank will put a lien on the car. If you don't pay the bank back, it can foreclose on its lien and take the car from you. If you have a roofer add a new roof to your house, and you don't pay him, the laws allow the roofer to put a lien on your house. The roofer now has a stake in the house. If you don't pay off the lien your house can be forcibly put up for sale in order to satisfy the lien. I believe "property and tenets" translates into modern speak as "property and belongings".
