Statute of Limitations Expired on a Second Mortgage in California
Hello BP Family,
I'm trying to close on a deal in Fairfield California before the primary mortgage holder forecloses on the property sometime next month. I'm able to offer about $25k more than the payoff from the primary mortgage holder.
The problem is that the title report is showing a lien for $77k that appears to be a second mortgage taken out in 2007... According to the $77k lien holder the $77k debt was charged off in 2008 and the payoff says the statute of limitations has expired.
The seller claims to have no idea what this $77k lien is and the lien holder says that it can take 30 days to dispute the lien (The primary mortgage holder will foreclose on the property by then)
Can a lien with expired statue of limitations be removed from a property in California?
Any advice will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks!

@Steven Williams simply pull a title report from the local title company ask them to insure around it.. if they won't then you have your answer.
