Hi Jeannettevincent,
Welcome to forums.
You can approach the office of the Register of Deeds or the County Recorder and enquire there. You can take along a tax bill or some other document along with the legal description of your property. Or else, you can contact a title company and request them to do a title search on your property. If there is any lien, it will be discovered through the title search itself, though it may cost you some dollars.
Thanks |

Hi Jean,
I agree with James. You'll be getting the record of any lien if placed on your mother-in-law's property from the county recorder's public records. The recorder will off course not remove any lien placed on the property. You as well as your mother-in-law need to contact the concerned party who had initially placed the lien on the property.
Good luck!

You can also take help of any title company to do a title search for locating the lien that exists on the property.
The reason is, it might be required to search many generations of property records and can be difficult for you to do it manually. And you do not know how long the lien has been in place for. |

Hi p.pardekooper.
I cannot get what you want to ask here. If you know "about how long the lien has been in place" then you should better pay it off ASAP. That is the simple thing that you should do. |

the best bet is the first advice you got, which is to go the local registry and do your own search to determine what, if any, liens exist on the property. you may need a title search eventually, but you'll not need to incur that expense at this point, i'm sure.
