Hey friend,

Just like you, I was not aware of types of liens real estate. To be honest, I didn’t know the meaning of the term ‘lien’ either. I asked friends of mine if they were aware of the term. Most of them shook their heads no. Lien is a claim which can be put on one’s asset or property as a form of security to ensure the repayment of loan money by the borrower. 

What is lien in real estate?

If the debts to the lender aren’t paid, they can legally claim an asset as a security. This is called a lien. Usually, lien especially property needs to be filed and verified by the appointed state agency.
