The U.S. Constitution says that you can’t be legally separated from your property without due process of law. This means that the courts must give their authorization for any asset you have to be seized and sold.

Liens are tied to your property, and when you are not making the payments is when your creditors will seek to take possession. They want to sell the property to take care of the outstanding balance you owe them.

The problem is that not all liens are the same, and sometimes creditors wrongfully attach liens. In these situations, you need an attorney that will fight for you and who understands the law.

The Most Common Liens

Your creditors will implement different liens to show that you still need to pay them for the outstanding debt. These are connected with the title to your vehicle or deed to the property. In either situation, a lien takes priority in getting paid. Some of the most common liens include:

• Liens from creditors for loans or services that you promise to pay
• Governmental liens for unpaid property taxes
• Past child support or alimony liens
• Liens for unpaid taxes that you owe to the IRS.

All of these cases will cause your stress levels to rise. You may not be sure what to do or how to get them removed. Creditors must go through a specific process to attach a claim to your property.

How Does a Lien Affect You?

A lien will have a dramatic impact on you. It means that you can’t sell your property until the outstanding debt obligations are satisfied.

For example, if you want to sell your home all liens must be cleared first. The odds are low that anyone will want to buy your home until all of the liens are removed. In situations like this, you need a lien attorney that will go over your options. We will help you find the best avenues for removing these liens so you can keep your property.

We can discuss your options to dispute the lien or negotiate with the creditors to get everything removed.

An Excessive Lien is Something You Can’t Ignore

An excessive lien occurs when a creditor wrongfully puts in the incorrect amount or claims payment is due for things that you don’t owe. In these situations, you need a property lien lawyer who knows what to do to challenge it. All liens must be accurate. Any liens that are incorrect could lead to a cancelation of the debt.

We will go through and look at all of the information surrounding your liens. Our team of attorneys knows what it takes to remove them. Liens need to be accurate and valid. We will help you to clarify those that are legitimate and consider the best way to remove them.

What are the Steps You take to Remove Liens?

The removal of liens requires knowing what to do and the tools that you can use. You have three different options available:

• Negotiation: This is when we negotiate with your creditors to remove the liens. They may allow you to go on a payment plan or restructure the debt. They know that keeping you paying is the best way to ensure they don’t have to take any more legal action.
• Lien bond: A lien bond involves obtaining a bond from a surety company that releases the lien on the property. The surety company pays the debt, and the property owner pays the bond company back.
• Going to Trial: A trial is the last option and requires going to court to discharge the debt. We show that the lien was wrongfully placed and it is causing damage to you financially. Most parties don’t want to go to trial. It is very costly, time-consuming, and there are no guarantees of success.

These are the three different options we have to help you. Your lien lawyer will go over which one to use that will get the best results. Contact Dickson Frohlich Phillips Burgess today at (206) 621-1110 (for Seattle) or (253) 572-1000 (for Tacoma) and let us help you to remove the liens.
