Legal Question in Consumer Law in Florida

Hi I live in florida and im dealing with a situation concerning my car. I wanted to trade in my vehicle which is fully paid off. I found out today that there has been a lien placed on my car from a debt my mother has. The car was bought in both of our names. I dont understand why i have to be crippled by her lien when the car has my name on it as well at the time of purchuse. Please help!
