A lien is a creditor’s security interest on a debtor’s property to secure a debt. A waiver and release of lien is signed upon payment, and can be conditional or unconditional. Different types of waivers may be based on the portion of payments made.
A lien is security interest that is levied by a creditor on a debtor’s property in order to secure a debt. The creditor seeks the imposition of a lien on his debtor’s property for the amount the debtor owes. In the event that the obligee sells any property to which the pledge is attached, the obligee is entitled to a share of the payment to the extent of the amount of the pledge. Liens are placed on that property to induce payment, and if such payment is made without selling the item, the debt is usually paid in conjunction with a waiver being made and the lien released. A waiver and release of lien completely releases the obligee’s property from the obligee’s security interest.
The imposition of a lien can arise from various situations where a debtor owes money to the creditor. Most commonly, the amount owed comes from a cash award that was awarded in court for some reason, such as a personal injury action. As soon as the judgment has been rendered, the court will impose a judgment pledge on the personal assets owned by the defendant-debtor, which grants the plaintiff-creditor a security right on these assets for the amount of the judgment. Upon payment by the defendant-debtor in full satisfaction of the sentence, the plaintiff-creditor can sign the waiver and release from the pledge, fully releasing the asset from the judgment pledge.
Depending on the situation, the waiver and release of the privilege can be conditional or unconditional. Typically, before the obligee receives payment, a waiver and conditional release is signed and it is stated that the lien must be released immediately upon payment of a certain amount by the obligee to the obligee. An unconditional waiver and release is a type of agreement that does not include a provision for payment. Generally, this type of release is signed after the payment has been made.
Also, there may be a different type of waiver and release of the lien based on the portion of the payments to be made that makes a release. In order to induce the obligee, the obligee may agree to remove the lien upon payment of a portion of the debt, rather than full satisfaction. He or she will perceive the payment as an expression of good faith that the debtor will make all possible efforts to eventually settle the debt and will feel comfortable removing the lien from the debtor’s property, which exists solely to enforce payment.
