Lien Stripping
Explanation:
Being granted a release from the effect of a lien, judgment, or security interest in property. Most judgment liens attached to the debtor's home can be avoided if the total of the liens (mortgages, judgment liens and statutory liens) is greater than the value of the property in which the exemption is claimed. Liens can be stripped from the debtor's assets in Chapter 11 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
