Post Lien Recommended Steps

signing document

Conducting a Post Lien Search is of the greatest importance for double checking to make sure the filing is on record and indexed correctly.

What is it?
Search of filing offices’ UCC records after your UCC has been recorded.

Why do it?
1.Confirms states’ index is correct
2. Verifies lien position relative to other creditors
3. Closes gap between pre-funding UCC search and your UCC filing, if performed

The three types of Post Lien Searches often performed:

Certified Search

  • Exact legal name- state standard search logic
  • Unperfected lien/seriously misleading if doesn’t show up

Plain Search

  • Can reveal name variations

Filing Number Verification

  • Search on UCC filing number only to see how it’s indexed, not a search on the debtor name
