If the lien is in your name, most title companies will insure over it with an affadavit signed by you that it is paid in full and no claims have been made against you for 50 years. If you have trouble finding a title company or need help preparing the documents for sale please contact my office.
You can clear it by using the New Jersey law on that topic.
