Understanding Liens and Judgments Against Property

A lien is a legal claim against your property as security for a debt. A judgment is a court order that confirms you owe money to a creditor. Both can affect your property ownership and equity. Both can me levied against you personally and any asset you own. 

Important Fact About Bankruptcy and Liens

Here’s a little-known fact: if you’ve gone through bankruptcy, even though the debt was discharged, the lien can still exist against your property if your attorney didn’t file a motion to avoid lien. This means the lien will still need to be settled, often for much less than the original debt.
