Whether or not the person who gave the loan can sell the property and evict your aunt before the end of the contract depends on the terms of the contract. If the contract does not allow for early sale or eviction, then the person who gave the loan cannot do either of those things. However, if the... Read more »

No, you are not liable for the previous owner's HELOC loan. The HELOC loan is a debt that was incurred by the previous owner, and it is not your responsibility to repay it. The lender will need to go after the previous owner's estate for the money.
If the previous owner's... Read more »

I was divorced a while back and was told I could not get any lien. I am seeing other wise now.
Can I file for an owelty lien on my own?
What do I need in order to file one? Such as a form and or my divorce decree?
If I do one, how long does it take to go into effect?
answered on May 31, 2023
An owelty lien is placed on real property at the time of divorce, not after.
A competent divorce lawyer would always place one if one spouse is awarded ownership of real property but is required to pay the other spouse money for his/her interest in the property.
