How long does a maritime lien last?

MARITIME LIEN FAQ
It depends on the lien and the circumstances. Some fishing vessel crew wage liens may expire in 6 months. A preferred mortgage lien that secures payment of a promissory note expires when the applicable statute of limitations runs on claims based on a breach of the note. A carrier's lien against cargo lasts only as long as the cargo remains in the carrier's possession.

Does anything special have to be done to create a maritime lien?

MARITIME LIEN FAQ
The filing of appropriate documents with the National Vessel Documentation Center is needed to create a preferred ship mortgage lien. All other liens arise spontaneously upon the provision of goods or services to the vessel or other maritime property, or upon the commission of the accident or other event that gives rise to a liability secured by the lien. Since there is no need to file, there is no reliable means of discovering all liens that may exist against a vessel.

What happens if there is more than one maritime lien?

MARITIME LIEN FAQ
Admiralty law confers priority on the order of payment of different types of lien from the proceeds of a foreclosure sale. Holders of higher priority liens are to be paid in full before holders of lower priority liens may collect anything. Within priority ranks, the last lien to attach to the vessel is usually to be paid first, though liens may be grouped by year, season or voyage.

What is the procedure for collecting on a maritime lien?

MARITIME LIEN FAQ
A maritime lien may only be foreclosed, or "executed," by the filing of an admiralty action in federal court by one or more lien claimants. The vessel is then arrested by a deputy marshal, and held in custody pending further developments. The custodian is usually a private vendor, because the marshal's charges for custody are prohibitive. Other lien claimants may enter the action.

Why file a lien?

City & Village Tax Office ~~
The lien is to acknowledge the delinquency of an assessment as levied against a property. This is the initial step in the collection process. Liens will not force a delinquent owner to pay an overdue amount immediately, but it will prevent them from refinancing or selling their home without paying the full amount due. Title companies have a real struggle finding out if a property is a part of the subdivision and pays assessments. In many cases, they only have the seller's word to go by.
