    Can someone place a lien on your property without notifying you. If the other person on the deed has nothing to do with the lien don't they need that persons consent?

    There are different types of liens. There can be a mortgage, which requires the consent (by way of signatures) of all owners of the property in order to be effective.

    If any of the owners contract to have some work performed by a contractor and fails to pay for it, that contractor can file a mechanic's lien. No consent or signature by an owner is required for it to be effective.

    If one of the owners gets sued and loses the case, the judgment acts as a lien against the property and does not require consent by the other owners. It doesn't matter if the lawsuit involved that property. Just the fact that there is a judgment against that owner creates a lien against any property they own.

    If you tell us a little more about your case we may be able to tell you if the lien on your property is valid.

    That depends on the type of lien and the reason for the lien. Tell us more about your situation and then we can give you a better answer.

    Lisa, I have been married for 40 years and my husband traded me in for a new model. We own commercial properties worth over 13 million dollars and my husband and his partner have treated me very badly. I am on my own and live on 2,000.00 per month. I live in our home which has 380,000.00 liens on it (due to bad business with Africa which was not done by me ) and is worth around 400,000.00. Him and his partner bought an acerage worth 1.5 Million also his partner bought a acerage for x wife and his two children worth 980,000.00 (all under our company name) they get their mortgage payments done from the company. My husband's partner made sure I was not a Director. I do the books for the companies and feel I have to have some sort of guarantee they don't go sideways on me as they are both crooks. I have found out they opened other accounts under our name and have embezzled monies around 50,000.00 (I did not get anything) and feel I should have received at least 1/4 of this amount due to being Treasurer of the companies.

    I could go on and on but need advise if I can put a lien on these companies. (I opened the companies and my husband's partner changed the directors and shareholder without my written concent) . I have contacted a Lawyer and she is great but have paid her 2,500.00 but she needs another 2,500.00 to go forward (which I can not afford)

    Thanks for your time Lisa Thelma MOyen

    I'm sorry to hear about your situation.

    You're not going to be able to put a lien on the companies' properties until you've obtained a court judgment. That won't happen until you sue your husband, his partner and the companies. Try speaking to the attorney about a payment plan or taking her fee from the award you receive when you sue. You absolutely need an attorney to represent you. This is not something you can do yourself.
