Service Overview

When You Can't Simply Pay the Lien Off

A lien settlement is what you need when you have to act on property — sell or refinance — before the full FTB debt is gone, or when you’re resolving the balance for less than the full amount through California’s programs. The FTB, like the IRS, can work with you on the lien while the debt is being resolved.

Service Benefits

The Practical Paths

  • Offer in Compromise on the underlying debt, after which the lien is released.
  • Subordination, letting a refinance lender take priority so you can pull equity.
  • Partial-payment installment agreements with the lien managed in the interim.
  • Coordinated payoff from a property sale, with the FTB paid from proceeds.

How Its Work

We match your goal — sell, refinance, or settle — to the right FTB mechanism, prepare the financial and valuation documentation California requires, and negotiate directly with the FTB, coordinating any parallel federal lien so a single transaction can close.

We won’t promise a particular FTB decision — these turn on equity and documentation — but we structure the strongest case.
