(Dec 24) A rock in the road

:( Title company found a lien on the property today. Seems it's one thing after another. The owner says he has a copy of the release of lien somewhere but he can't find it. They never filed the release with the courts. The title company has to have a original of the release. Otherwise, they will have to track down the lien holder and have them sign another release, if they will! 7 years later, no telling where the person lives or whether they will feel like doing the owner a favor. Turns out when he sold the 4 acres piece, the title company doing the work on that sale never found the lien or all of this would have been resolved years ago.
