client is a HOA that recorded a lien for nonpayment of annual assessments for
years in 2013, 2014 and 2015. Not sure if some of the earlier years’
assessments were paid, but 2015 was definitely not paid. Now we have 2016
unpaid as well. I am getting ready to judicially foreclose liens and I
thought I would have to record a new lien for the 2016 assessment before I can
foreclose based on the 2016 assessment.</SPAN><SPAN
