A lien is a legal tool that holds partial or total ownership of a piece of property. In general, a lien placed on an automobile is taken out by the financing creditor to ensure the borrowing consumer does not transfer or sell the vehicle without repaying the loan. In Missouri, auto liens are governed by the state Motor Vehicle Titling and Registration office, part of the Department of Revenue.
