1. A lien is created in favor of the state for the additional inheritance tax which may be
imposed by section 450B.3 on the qualified real property for which an election has been made
under section 450B.2. The lien created by this section shall continue until the tax has been
paid or ten years after the tax is due, whichever date occurs first. However, the lien shall
expire ten years after the decedent’s death if the qualified heir has not disposed of or ceased
to use for the qualified use the qualified real property which would impose the tax under
section 450B.3. The department of revenue may release the lien prior to the payment of the
tax due, if any, if adequate security for payment of the tax is given.
2. Unless the lien has been perfected by recording in the office of the recorder in the
county where the estate is probated, a transfer of the qualified real property to a bona fide
purchaser for value shall divest the property of the lien. If the lien is perfected by recording,

and costs due.
