What is a lien?

A lien is the right to retain lawful possession of real property (real estate) or personal property (such as a vehicle) belonging to another party until that party has fulfilled a legal obligation to the first party, such as payment for labor and materials supplied to improve the property.

How is a lien right created?

In the US, liens can be consensual (such as those that are created by a mortgage, where the mortgagor agrees to grant the mortgagee a lien over the property), or involuntary. Non-consensual (or involuntary) lien rights are created either by statute or by operation of common law, which gives a creditor the right to impose a lien over a debtor’s property, to secure repayment of money owed by the debtor to the creditor.

Non-consensual liens would include attorney’s liens, tax liens, judgment liens, and mechanic’s liens. Mechanic’s liens secure payment for work done to either personal property or land, and the lien attaches to the property or land on which the work was done.
