In 1985, my mother died and my share of the proceeds from the sale of her house came to around $16,000. My ex-wife filed a lien on this inheritance for back child support and also attached a lein, unbeknownst to me, to my home, which I had purchased a year earlier. The back chhild support amounted to around $13,500, a debt which I freely acknowledged and was happy to pay in full. All was well and good, and my ex-wife happened to die five years late of cancer.
In 1996 I purchased and moved to another home nearby, and kept the old house as a rental. Then a couple years ago, the estate attorney who did our living trust discovered the lein on the old house. Now, 26 years after this lien was filed and immediately satisfied, I need to sell this old house.
There is no record of any of this in my possession.
How do go about getting rid of this lien so that I can sell the house?

You'll either need proof of payment or a court document that released the lien.
