Do I still need to enforce my lien

Kentucky

I filled a lien. The house was sold and I was harassed by a lawyer to cancel the lien. He told me he wanted an address so that he could pay the lien. When I offered a routing number he said that I was being sued unless I lifted the lien. No bond had been paid, I'm uncertain how the property was sold. I am the defendant in a lawsuit now and have not pushed to enforce the lien. My lawyer has told me that when the lawsuit was filed against me for the lien I no longer needed to enforce the lien. My deadline is coming up soon to enforce the lien or have it dismissed per KY statute. Do I need to enforce the lien or is my counterclaim and defending this lawsuit the same as enforcing the lien?

In general, a valid counterclaim it is sufficient. The counterclaim would have to have all the required elements of a lien suit, including adding any parties who might have an interest in the property.

Since you have an attorney, you should be addressing all questions to your attorney.
