What is the name of your state? KY
I have a judgment lien on my property from a previous owner that is now expired. The 15 year statute of limitations ran out this past February. Here in KY the judgment cannot be renewed. My attorney stated "If you wish to take some action you would sue the lien holder and get an order of release. App cost $1000.00" Ouch!
I will go to the courthouse and do a title search to find out the current owner of the expired judgment lien. Can't I get the lien released in a less expensive way without suing the current lien holder? Is there anything that I can do myself at the courthouse, etc. to clear my title?
Please advise how to best proceed.
--Thanks in advance
