Lien filed. 95k. Can I foreclose the property in Indiana?
Once filed, an Indiana mechanics lien will only last for a period of 1 year from the date of filing. If you have a valid claim and are still within your enforcement deadline, then yes, you can file a foreclosure action in the circuit or superior court in the county where the property is located. One optional step you can take before filing suit is to send a Notice of Intent to Foreclose. Consider it a final warning that if you're not paid, a lawsuit will be filed. This will get the ower's attention. If not, then you may want to file the foreclosure action.
Keep in mind, this is a full lawsuit, so you should reach out to a local attorney to help guide you through this process. We have some Indiana-based attorneys in our Levelset Community that may be able to help.
