Clear Title drop lien

[Beatriz Garza]

Can someone help me with this? I am buying a condo but it supposedly has a lien attached. The statement say principle balance 0. Loan 59k supposable corporate advance that’s what they told heir. Corp doesn’t exist anymore. Director passed away 2 yrs ago. Heir get a statement every month but no payment due. Can this be removed so I get clear title? If so how?

I'm assuming there's an unreleased Deed of Trust of record the statement is based on. If so I'd have the seller call the number on the statement and request a Release to be recorded in a form sufficient to allow the title agent to issue a title policy w/o exception for the DOT..
