The lien obviously did not expire - I would trust the Attorney (or find another Attonrey you do trust).
I would also ask how the Attorney who closed on the property when your mother in law purchased it missed the lien or didn't insist that it be paid before she took ownership.
Is it a construction lien or a lien resulting from a Judgment?
