Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Removing a lien on a property
My partner and myself obtained a deed on a property with full knowledge that there was a lien against it for $9800. The money has been paid to the person holding the lien and he is cooperative in removing such lien.
Neither the lien holder nor ourselves know the process to remove the lien, what should we do?

Re: Removing a lien on a property

Talk with a clerk of the civil division of the

circuit court in the jurisdiction where the property is located. S/he may have helpful

information as to how to get the lien released and

may even have preprinted form(s which the seller

could use to execute the release of the lien.

Whatever form is used, remember that, among other things, the release of the lien must be properly recorded in order to be effective.
