Sidebar Question : Are you automatically forced to sell a property with a lien on it. I’ve always seen worst outcomes of debt are liens on a property and that it can cost you once you sell said property. What if it’s your house you plan to live in for the next 20/30 years. The lien just sits there. Kind of seems inconsequential if you don’t sell.

Nope.

Depends on whether the lien filer timely filed suit on the lien (assuming we’re talking about mechanics/workman’s liens as being discussed in this thread). Once the applicable period has passed and the lien filer no longer has a valid claim, you can get the lien removed by the court and clerk if it’s a barrier to sale, obtaining credit etc.

Other types of liens last longer.
