Judgment and Lien Search Reports in Massachusetts

A judgment and lien search is accomplished in one of a few ways. One type of judgment and lien search is property specific and identifies the current owner(s) of a real property parcel, and includes property tax information, unsatisfied mortgages, and other unsatisfied encumbrances against the property; judgment, liens, UCCs, etc. Another type of judgment and lien search is a 'name search', whereby the abstractor searches a person's or business' name in a specific county for any unsatisfied mortgages, liens, judgments, UCC filings, and taxes on any properties in that county. This type of name search is most often used for a HOA (Home Owners Association), COA (Condominium Owners Association), or POA (Property Owners Association). Name searches can also be done statewide for both businesses and individuals, but are more refined as to the types of encumbrances searched, such as UCCs.
