judgement on title search

Welcome! Hmm...evictions show up on title searches? OR the judgement put a lien on your home? If there is a lien against real property it needs to be paid.

Research your state for sol on judgments.If it is valid,it must be satisfied before you will achieve clear title.

Evictions don't show up on title searches, but judgements against you do. My realtor said there is no lien against my house either. It just shows up on the title search somehow. I'll check out those websites, thanks

I thought maybe they placed a lien through a judgement keeping you from releasing title.

Now I am clear...if its just a straight judgement, do as Cajun mentioned and check your states SOL.

I have heard of consumer reporting agencies that now compile info on evictions and such for landlords and property management companies. To the best of my knowledge, they are still bound to the terms of the FCRA.

Regarding a judgment, many states allow the renewal of judgments, so it is conceivable that one lives as long as you do (or longer, for estate purposes).

Trying to refinance my home. Have discovered that DHS has issued a judgement of title of $9000.00. what does this mean we were not nofied.

Who is DHS? Most likely they obtained a default judgment against you and then filed a memorandum of judgment with the county recorder of deeds. That judgment is now a lien against your property.

You should have been notified (via a summons) when DHS first filed their case. You can go to the court and request to view the file, to see how service was made. If you believe the service was improper, you can try to vacate the judgment. Although that's more of an attorney question, as i've never tried to vacate a judgment before.

As long as that judgment is valid, it will usually need to be paid before any other lender will give you a loan against your house. Or in some cases they will approve a refi as long as you payoff the judgment with the loan proceeds.

I owe money to a person we lost contact i dont no if he put a lien on my house and i want to sell . How can i find out without paying a lawyer to do it.

if you have the title policy from when you bought your house or have went thru a refi since, call the title company and they can give you a run down from that date to todays date and it will cost you under 100 bucks, cheaper than a lawyer.
