Go outside and walk around your house. If nothing is leaning on it, you have no lean on your house. On the other hand, if you are wondering if there is a lien against your house, go to a title company -- they are in the yellow pages -- or ask a real estate person to recommend a title company, and ask the title company to do a title search. The prupose of a title search is to determine if you have clear title, meaning that there are no liens against the house. If it turns out that you do not have clear title, then you own the house with someone else, and you must rectify that before you sell the house. This should have been done just before you closed on your house, but if it was long ago and you have been involved in litigation, maybe you need to do this again.
