     514.993 Lien; contents and filing. 

    Subdivision 1.    Contents.  A lien shall be dated and 
 must contain: 

    (1) the recipient's full name, last known address, and 
 Social Security number; 

    (2) a statement that benefits have been paid to or for the 
 recipient's benefit; 

    (3) a statement that all of the recipient's interests in 
 the real property described in the lien may be subject to or 
 affected by the agency's right to reimbursement for benefits; 

    (4) a legal description of the real property subject to the 
 lien and whether it is registered or abstract property; and 

    (5) such other contents, if any, as the agency deems 
 appropriate. 

    Subd. 2.    Filing.  Any lien, release, or other 
 document required or permitted to be filed under sections 
 514.991 to 514.995 must be recorded or filed in the office of 
 the county recorder or registrar of titles, as appropriate, in 
 the county where the real property is located.  Notwithstanding 
 section 386.77, the agency shall pay the applicable filing fee 
 for any documents filed under sections 514.991 to 514.995.  An 
 attestation, certification, or acknowledgment is not required as 
 a condition of filing.  If the property described in the lien is 
 registered property, the registrar of titles shall record it on 
 the certificate of title for each parcel of property described 
 in the lien.  If the property described in the lien is abstract 
 property, the recorder shall file the lien in the county's 
 grantor-grantee indexes and any tract indexes the county 
 maintains for each parcel of property described in the lien.  
 The recorder or registrar shall return the recorded or filed 
 lien to the agency at no cost.  If the agency provides a 
 duplicate copy of the lien, the recorder or registrar of titles 
 shall show the recording or filing data on the copy and return 
 it to the agency at no cost.  The agency is responsible for 
 filing any lien, release, or other documents under sections 
 514.991 to 514.995.
