What information must be included in a lien release?
A valid lien release needs to clearly show that the lien has been fully paid or resolved.
It should include:
-
The name of the lien holder and the property owner
-
A description of the property
-
The original amount of the lien
-
The date the lien was recorded
-
The date the lien was released
-
The document or instrument number tied to the lien
-
A notary stamp or official seal
-
Clear language confirming the lien has been fully released
It’s important that dates and document numbers match the original lien. If there are discrepancies, the release may need to be corrected before we can move forward.
