Re: lein holders

Never heard of it.This is the danger you face purchasing at a foreclosure. Usually, there are no warranties and you must do your homework.

Unfortunately, this is a danger of buying at a foreclosure sale without doing your homework by reviewing the title in advance. You are now responsible for the lien if you want to clear the title. I am unaware of any procedure to reforclose the property to wipe it out. What basis would you have? Why would your rights be primary to anyone else who already filed a lien? You should try to contact this lienholder and make a settlement if you can.
