Answer: If the title company is unable to locate the lien holder, they will hold monies in escrow until the issue can be resolved. I suggest that you converse with a local attorney to see if you can have the lien removed by court order since the company is BK and then proceed. Otherwise, you may have to compensate your refi to include the outstanding lien amount. Good Luck!

Answer: Contact the Secretary of State where the lender was incorporated. They will have a Registered Agent for that company, hopefull an attorney will be listed who can sign the release documents for you.
