FAQ
What happens if I sell with an old lien still on record?
The buyer finds it in the lien certificate and backs out, or pushes your price down. Releasing the paid-off lien is what leaves the property clean to sell.
What does releasing a lien mean?
Removing an already paid-off charge from the property so it's free; we record the release.
How much does it cost?
The professional fee, from $120, covers handling the release document and the recording; the registry fee is extra.
Can I sell with the lien still in place?
It's not a good idea: release it first so the buyer receives a clean property.
What do I need?
Proof that the charge is paid off, issued by whoever held it in their favor.
About this procedure
A gravamen (lien or encumbrance) is any charge that weighs on a property and limits what the owner can do with it: mortgages, antichresis, tax charges, third-party rights or other encumbrances on record at the registry. While a lien exists, the property is tied down: it can't be sold clean, it can't serve as new collateral and its value takes a hit. Often the lien no longer has any reason to exist, because the cause behind it was resolved, but it's still on record because nobody handled its release. Other times the owner doesn't even know the property carries anything until they try to sell it and get a surprise. First, we identify exactly which lien weighs on your property and where it comes from, gather what's needed to prove it can now be released, draft the release document and record it at the Real Estate Registry. We take the chains off your property so it's truly yours again, free to be sold, mortgaged or whatever you need.
Legal framework and important notes
Ley de Registros y Notarías (Registries and Notaries Law) · Código Civil (Civil Code) · Código de Procedimiento Civil (Code of Civil Procedure)
- A lien limits what can be done with the property; releasing it requires proving the cause was resolved, and the release is recorded
- We recommend a lien certificate beforehand (a separate service)
We guarantee our service, not what the agency decides. If something depends on them, we tell you clearly and in time.
