What is a lien?Lien are legal claims to assets, often referred to as collateral, to secure payment for debts. In other words, it is a legal right to keep possession of an asset until a debt owed is paid. Liens can be placed on various types of assets, including real estate, and other property.
-
Is a lien the same as a loan?Loans and liens are different. In a secured loan, the debtor pledges collateral to cover the lender’s risk for the duration of the loan, giving the lender the right to take the collateral as payment particularly in bankruptcy proceedings. This right to take the collateral is the lien.
