By Yesner Law |

We have helped 3 different clients over the last week to eliminate mortgages and other liens from the public records.  In each of the these situations, the loans were satisfied, but the lien holders (lenders / banks) failed to record a satisfaction or release.  Of course, we didn’t know this until after we filed… Read More »

However, in my experience, the IRS will not enforce a lien against a property with a purchase money mortgage (where the homeowner uses the loan to buy the house).

Foreclosure Question: Who Is A Third Party Bidder?
