How do I file a lien for a private loan

[William C.]

We own a property free and clear. We’d like to borrow $50k from a private investor. We’d like to sign a note and attach a lien so the investor is protected.

What are the mechanics to made this happen?

Attorney drafted note? Can we draft it?

Is it just a matter of having a title company file it with the recorder of deeds?

Thanks!
