Re: Claim of Lien
Generally, suit must be filed to forclose the lien within 6 months of its filing. This deadline may be extended another 6 months if a proper notice is recorded within the original 6 month period.
Once the lien has expired, there is no way to extend it, however a suit on the underlying debt may still be filed within the applicable statute of limitations, usually 3 years.
