Q: What kind of attorney do I need to get to file a petition to have a lien released on my property in Tennessee?
A lien was filed on my property against my ex-husband. The lien was against a business he had in 2009. We divorced in 2010 and he quit claimed the property to me. At the time we did not know the lien existed. The person who filed the lien has not been reachable. It is believed he has left the country.
A: I suggest a real estate litigator. Your question doesn't explain what type of "lien" is involved ( and many lay persons use the word 'lien" to mean various kinds of things). If the lien was against a business, ( a corporation, an LLC ) then it might not be proper for it to be filed against an individual ( your ex). Also, there are strict time limits on some kind of liens. Much more detailed information is needed. You might also try checking with some title and escrow companies- these all have lawyers who deal in these areas.
