Re: involuntary lien

The realtor has paced a lien, meaning you owe money, and the property cannot be sold, or transferred without the lien being paid.

The involuntary part means it is placed without the consent of the owner. In other words, your mother-in-law did not consent to this. Maybe she owed the realtor money, as we as your back rent.

You get it taken care by paying the amount of the lien. If you dispute it, you will need to retain an

attorney.
