- Child SupportWhat are involuntary liens, then? These are liens placed on a property by others (besides mortgage lenders) for unpaid obligations. When people talk about involuntary liens, they’re usually referring to the most common type: tax liens. How about an example? If you own a house and don’t pay your property taxes for several years, the local county can place a lien on your property, which is their way of telling you, “Pay up!” If you don’t pay up, they can proceed with foreclosure. Others who might place involuntary liens on a property include homeowner associations (HOAs), contractors, the IRS, and/or “the bank.” Liens can be placed when a property owner fails to pay utility bills, HOA dues, and even child support payments.

- ForeclosureA voluntary lien is one a person voluntarily takes out with the terms stated in a contract (or the mortgage deed of trust and the note). Generally, when people talk about voluntary liens they’re talking about mortgages. A borrower gets money from a lender in a mortgage situation– and the lender gets a “note” and a “lien on the house” which serves as collateral for the debt. If the borrower can’t pay the money back properly, then the lender, typically, assumes ownership of the house– in “foreclosure.”
