Liens do not expire, they have to be settled to the satisfaction of the lien holder or lifted by the court because they are deemed invalid.

That's not true. Certain liens do expire, i.e., Abstracts of Judgment, Mechanic's Liens, Construction Liens, etc. all expire after a certain amount of time unless they are Renewed and Extended by the person/company filing the lien. Abstracts of Judgment, for example, expire after 10 years if not renewed. There should be Releases filed for these types of liens when they are paid in full, but that doesn't always happen.

Will you be able to sell your house with a car lien on it and if not how long does the car lien last in Massachusetts?

If there is a judgment lien on your property in Massachusetts the recorded lien is good for six years. Before the six years expires the creditor can obtain an extension from the court and the extension is good for another six years. The judgment is good for 20 years but it must be updated in the land records as stated above in order to encumber the debtor's real property. As long as the lien is updated you cannot sell or mortgage the property until the lien is paid.If there is a judgment lien on your property in Massachusetts the recorded lien is good for six years.

The lien stays with the property until it is paid. You cannot sell a car or a house, for instance, until the lien is paid and you have clear title. Usually the lien on a house is paid for at closing, either from the proceeds of the sale or money that you bring to the table.


What happens when you put a lien on property?

You will have to pay off the lien at the time you sell the home you live in. If you apply for a loan based on the house as collateral, then the lien will be taken into consideration. I am not sure if your mortgage company is going to recognize the lien as being in first place should you also default on this home, or if there will be other issues with them.
