Status: in_force

A. A filing officer does not have a duty to accept for filing or recording a claim of lien, unless the lien is authorized by statute or imposed by a court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over property affected by the lien.

B. A filing officer does not have a duty to accept for filing or recording a claim of lien against a state or local official or employee or a federal official or employee based on the performance or nonperformance of that official's or employee's duties, unless accompanied by a specific order from a court of competent jurisdiction having jurisdiction over property affected by the lien, authorizing the filing of the lien.

C. A filing officer does not have a duty to disclose an instrument of record or filing that attempts to give notice of a nonconsensual common law lien.
