Expired lien removal

FloridaLien ReleasesMechanics Lien

Good day: My daughter has a home that she will be selling very soon. There are 2 very expired liens on her home from work done over 10 years ago. They were never renewed, no money is owed. How does she remove these liens in order to avoid any complications at closing? I've searched for a form to file with the court but can only find one to be used by the contractor not homeowner. Property is in FL. Thank you, VC

The assumption that expired liens cloud the title is incorrect. There is no construction lien renewal in Florida.

The title company should be able to figure out that the liens are expired without you having to do anything, and it should insure the title despite the expired liens. However the sales contract should disclose the liens to protect your daughter from a claim she failed to disclose them.
