Can We get this 1995 lien removed off of her homestead.

TexasMechanics Lien

My friend who is a disabled teacher had a contractor do some work in 1995, which he did not complete. He had put into his contract that he would get paid even if he didn’t complete the work, so he put a mechanics lien on her homestead. She is now 74 and I can’t find this remodeling company listed anywhere! She has NO money. Is there any way I can help her get rid of this lien, so I can help her sell this house. Thank you in advance, Dana

The lien claimant had 1 year to file a lawsuit to foreclose the lien. After that the lien claim expired. A title company should not have any problems with this old lien. There is a legal procedure to remove the lien, but you are looking at about $3,000 in fees and a few months to do that. Talk to the title company. If you want to hire me to contact the title company please contact me. I am not your lawyer until you hire me and the guidance in this response is not legal advice because I do not know all the facts that might be relevant.
