Spanish term or phrase: ya que la responsabilidad de cualquier otro gravamen era inminente
Contexto:

Además, es muy raro y sospechoso que un notario en un asunto de este monto no hubiera hecho la inscripción de la hipoteca inmediatamente, ya que la responsabilidad de cualquier otro gravemen era inminente, incluso involuntariamente de quien suscribía la hipoteca.

Muchas Gracias,

Barbara

as there was an impending liability for any other encumbrance
Explanation:
I believe this kind of wording would work here.

As an alternative, you could use "threatened" or, as suggested by Neil, "imminent" instead of "impending".

as the responsibility for any other burdens was imminent


Explanation:
Literally.
It seems perfectly understandable to me, albeit in the usual stilted legalese fashion.
In plain speech, it means something like "other taxes and liens would soon be due"...
