lien strip question
Posted: Fri May 14, 2010 2:57 pm
Client has a 1st with Cal Housing and a 2nd with Cal Housing, but they are recorded in the same deed of trust (weird, but does it matter for purposes of a lien strip?). In that 1st/2nd joint-DT, her ex husband is also listed.Furthermore, there is a 3rd with Bank of America, that is in ex-husbandsthe house.
Are any of these liens strippable considering ex is on 1st/2nd deed with client, and on 3rd deed alone?Client doesnt care if ex is stuck with any personal liabilty.
Is it worth a try on both or either (2nd and/or 3rd) (AP via Ellen Carroll)?
I usually advise married debtors to file together to avoid any question of what can be stripped, but in this instance, they are divorced. Sec. 506(a) says 'by a lien on property in which the estate has an interest' and therefore doesn't seem to speak to the debtor, but to the property itself. Has anyone tried something similar?

Furthermore, there is a 3rd with Bank of America, that is in ex-husbandss name only. She doesnt know where ex is. She wants to keep the house.
