McKinney Property Lien Disputes

What Is a Property Lien?

Unlike an eminent domain claim, a lien is a legal claim a creditor holds over the property of a debtor. Most liens are public records, and state that the holder of the lien has a right to part or all of the property if repayments are not fulfilled. Property liens may be voluntary or involuntary.

  • Voluntary lien – The most common example of a voluntary lien is a mortgage. A homeowner enters into an agreement with the lender to repay a loan. If repayments are not made, the lender can take possession of the home.
  • Involuntary lien – Called a judgment lien, this could involve a dispute over payment for construction or renovation work on your home. Contractors or subcontractors may file a claim whether the homeowner is aware of a payment dispute or not.

An Overview of the Lien Dispute Process

If a lien has been incorrectly filed against your property, our real estate attorneys can help execute a release. In many cases, individuals or businesses are unaware a lien exists. At Lucé Law, PC, we can help you identify the type of lien you are facing and create an effective resolution. Our attorneys can make a formal demand for lien removal through a summary motion and other legal approaches.

We also work with creditors to place a lien on a property and protect their legal right to recover outstanding debt. Our attorneys will obtain a court judgment and then place a lien to secure the property as collateral for the debt. If you are a lender, contractor, supplier or spouse, our attorneys are dedicated to meeting the needs of every client.

Common Questions About Lien Disputes

Common examples include mortgage, judgment, child support, home equity loans and mechanic’s liens.

It is possible to sell a home with a lien on it, but the process is more complicated and the value may be substantially lower. It is advisable to speak to our attorneys about removing the lien before selling the property.

A judgment lien expires after 10 years, whereas a mortgage lien remains until the debt is repaid.

“ Dear Joe, With heartfelt sincerity I say thank you, thank you and thank you for your help. There are many shifting winds as one works through life. There is also the resolute reality that you were able to correct my course through heavy winds, after I brought to you my scenario — to cite the greatest of sports scenarios — on the wrong and muddy end zone with no time left on the clock. So, with the opposition stacked against me, you did not tell me what I wanted to hear — you told me what I needed to hear. Most people would have said the game is over. It’s too late. Sorry, you lost. But, not you! Instead, with an unyielding “never say never” look in your eye you mustered your colleagues and developed a game plan. Your strategy, relentless investigation and hard work prevailed in my defense. You are a very unique person Joe. Men of your caliber are far and few between in this world. Men who care and who work for good family values! The words you told me rang true: “While we cannot change the past, we can learn, move forward and have an impact on what happens going forward.” Your wise advice saying, “That our objective must be on what should be done next; to focus our energy on a strategy to best protect my family.” When the clouds were dark and grim, you Joe, told me to take care of my family and let you and your colleagues do your work. But above all, you reinforced and restated for me and my family to keep the faith. You gave us shelter from the storm. Yes, Lucé Law is a “true” partner in times uncertain and certain. Joe, I will never forget what you did for me and for my family. This is a testament to you and all the good people at Lucé Law. I truly wish that I had the ability to assemble the words that I need to truly describe Lucé Law. Smart, expert, resolute, knowledgeable, patient, strategic, resilient, caring, helpful, listening, the best, all truly describe Lucé Law — notwithstanding “offering sound legal advice.” I suppose that if one can take themselves to a higher level, then one will experience that Lucé Law is on a level far above the rest.”
