Um, David, by definition a mortgage _is_ a lien. That's what makes it a mortgage, and differentiates it from an ordinary, unsecured personal loan to the homeowner. The lender has recorded the mortgage documents (in some states, in the form of a Deed of Trust) with the land records office, of that you can be sure. It gives the lender a secured interest in the real estate as collateral for the loan, and can be foreclosed upon in case of default.
