Legal Question
The builder of my house in Florida did not pay a building supplier($1500)in 2006 because he believed the roofing trusses were defective. The building supplier filed a lien against my property in 2006. The builder has since declared bankruptcy. Now, I want to refinance my home mortgage loan.
Can I refinance without paying off this disputed lien? I'm told this lien expires after a year if the lienor doesn't file a law suit. Since this lien is over 2 years old will the bank allow me to refinance without paying this lien or is the lien now expired?
