No, although we strongly recommend that you seek legal advice before recording any document affecting title to property. You may come into our office and do an official record search under your name and find all the documents recorded in which you were a grantor or grantee. Also search under any other names, forms of your name or business names that the liens could be recorded under. You may view the documents to determine which are liens and which are releases of liens. I had a lien against me and I paid it off, but a release doesn t show up in your records.
