§ 57408 Lien Certificate Request Fees

Key Takeaways

  • •Anyone can ask for a paper that shows if someone owes money and if someone else has a legal claim on their stuff.
  • •The paper will tell you who says they are owed money, when they filed the claim, and how to contact them.
  • •You have to pay a small fee to get this paper, just like you would for a similar paper about business stuff.

Example

You want to buy a used car from your neighbor, but you're not sure if they still owe money on it.

You can ask for a paper that will tell you if anyone says your neighbor owes them money for the car. This way, you can make sure the car is really yours after you buy it and no one else can take it away.
