A third party have placed a lien on the house for work they did during a lease/purchase arrangement that expired. Can they do this if there where no contracts for the work to be done? Also, they have reciepts for about 7,000 of the work and the lien is for 11,000. They are adding 4,000 for labor they did.

Please help me understand this. I need to close and get in this house or drop it as a lost cause.

**A: since we have no paperwork to review, we can't say. We can say though, that you need a real estate attorney like yesterday.
