Re: lien release
Do you mean a satisfaction of mortgage? If so, it was probably mailed to you and you never recorded it at the conclusion of the loan. It mustbe recorded with the County Clerk. If you asked for another one, you have not waited too long. It normally, without going back into the archives, at least 2-3 months. You certainly should be able to sell the land...and do not let this hold you up.
Good Luck

Re: lien release
Yes, you have several options. Was it a private mortgage or from a lending institution?
