Joshua,
Any lein or judgement can be discounted. I would get a phone number and person to speak to at the hospital and go to work. Explain the situation to the lienholder and start negotiations. Mark.
Exactly, it’s similar to paying off a note. Negotiate your discount and in exchange for the $ the lienholder provides you a satisfaction of lien document.
Try something like this: “the purchase and price is contingent upon and subject to approval of all lenders and lien holders and absent said approval by all lenders and lien holders this contract and purchase may be unilaterally declared null and void and of no further legal effect by the buyer(s). The purchase and price is contingent upon the lenders and lien holders express written approval of a short sale and\or discount”. Mark.
