the question: What does it mean to have a lien on a piece of property?

the answer: To have a lien on property means that it is encumbered or subject to an legal obligation. A judgment can be created if a court determines that a person is responsible for something resulting from a criminal or civil matter or even unpaid Federal and/or State taxes. Once entered with the Clerk of Court that judgment becomes a lien on real property belonging to the person or persons who own property in the county in which the judgment is entered. Also, having a bank loan secured by a Deed of Trust on real property constitutes a lien on property. There are many factors influencing this area of the law and one should consult a Real Estate Attorney if you find yourself in this situation.

“Many of our local brokers do not realize that Real Estate Weekly was started by Realtors for the benefit of Realtors so that we could have our own publication to turn to for our advertising needs. Because of Real Estate Weekly, we have been able to brand ourselves with local buyers and sellers and, at the same time, get our listings in front of the buying public with beautiful color photos of the homes we have for sale. In addition, Real Estate Weekly helps us hit all the popular websites with our listings to make sure buyers across the country see our listings as well.

Avoid new bank fees and penalties (StatePoint) If you’ve noticed your banking and financial service fees going up, you’re not imagining it. Thanks to new rules and regulations restricting banks from making certain kinds of risky investments, they are finding new streams of revenue. But experts say that there are steps you can take to avoid paying a price for the nation’s well-intended but costly new banking reforms. “Now more than ever, reading the fine print is a must if you want to protect yourself from higher fees and surprises,” says Shari Olefson, legal, financial, and real estate expert and author of the new book, “Financial Fresh Start: Your Five-Step Plan for Adapting and Prospering in the New Economy.” Here are some tips to avoid pitfalls and

bank smarter in the new economy: • Compare: Just as you might shop prices for a manicure or personal trainer, shop for bank and financial services too. Compare at least three different banks and the details on services you need. What are the fees associated with these services and what are the requirements you have to meet to avoid penalties? • Explore alternatives. Consider switching to a smaller bank, credit union or online bank to avoid paying certain fees. Fees can also sometimes be avoided by consolidating accounts and credit cards, or by switching to a less expensive service, such as away from a premium account to basic checking. Look specifically for banking services to which the new rules don’t apply. For example, banks with less than $10 billion

in assets are exempt from many of the new rules and reforms. • Monitor rewards: Some banks and financial service companies are aggressively cutting expenses. So if you use your bank’s reward program, watch for signs that the program may change or be phased out. “You want to be able to use your rewards before you risk losing them,” says Olefson. • Practice overdraft prevention: Keep a cushion in your account. Try tracking spending manually, using an old-fashioned paper register to spend more mindfully and pay your bills manually, too, since auto-payments are among the leading causes of account overdrafts. If you do become overdrawn, be sure to pay fees quickly to avoid being charged again for the original offense. • Stick to your own ATMs: Plan your ATM visits and cash needs in advance to avoid using another bank’s ATM machines. • Rinse, wash, repeat: “Like most other businesses, banks innovate, especially when it comes to the potential types of new fees they can charge, even under the new rules and reforms,” Olefson observes. “These innovations are never-ending. Periodically revisit the financial services you use and how much they cost in order to ensure you’re paying the least amount possible.” More tips for thriving in the new economy and information about “Financial Fresh Start,” by Shari Olefson, can be found at www.FinancialFreshStartTheBook.com.
