Re: where to find any leins against my property

I have never found such a website. If I need to run a search for liens on real property, I got to www.lotbook.com and I can a pretty comprehensive lien report in a nice format. It costs $125 for a lien report on residential property.

This is just general information. No representations are made and no attorney client relationship is established by this communication. In most matters there are strict time limitations within which actions may be taken or your rights will be compromised. We are not taking any action on your matter and will not be considered your attorney or tax representative until both you and we have signed a fee agreement.

We, therefore will take no action on your behalf unless a written retainer agreement is signed. There are strict deadlines, called statutes of limitation, within which claims or lawsuits must be filed. Therefore, if you do not retain SELIKLAW, you should immediately seek the services of another attorney or other advisor.

If you send a lawyer or law firm email, your email will not create an attorney-client relationship and will not necessarily be treated as privileged or confidential. You should not send sensitive or confidential information via email. The lawyer or law firm to whom you are writing may not choose to accept you as a client. Moreover, as the Internet is not necessarily a secure environment it is possible that your email sent via the Internet might be intercepted and read by third parties.

Re: where to find any leins against my property

In my experience, I've found that county Web sites vary tremendously in type and depth of information available. Some counties, Marin for example, make parcel maps available on line; others (Sonoma) don't. At the Solano county Web site, and a few others, you can view scanned images of documents filed in court. Most counties don't have this feature yet.

I would guess that most counties have basic recorded information on line, so that you could enter your parcel number (or your name) and get information about entries affecting that number or name made in the last 10-15 years. Most of the computerized indices don't go back very far, and as far as I know, none allow you to see the actual recorded document, just the index info, but this could be a start.
