Legal Question in Bankruptcy in California
real estate liens
if a bank has two liens on a house, one being the mortguage and the second being a personal equity line of credit, and the bank charges off the personal equity line of credit due to a bankruptcy/death occuring simultaniously, does this remove the second lien? what effect does the charged off loan have on the residence?

Re: real estate liens
Lien itself survives. Unless actually removed or "stripped" if it was recorded it remains.
