Re: Release of Lien
There are a few options. The easiest is to hire a real estate lawyer to draft a lien release, and give that to the title company for filing. If no one will sign the lien release, and you beleive the lien to be a fraudulent document, then you can file a suit to remove the cloud on the title (this is a much more expensive solution.)
