No way to put a lien on it per se but there are things called garnishments of bank accounts IF you first get a judgment and then know where the account is located.

If he is Court ordered to pay, and has not, you could seek "Contempt", and he could be incarcerated until he pays. If the Court is made aware that he is entitiled to inheritance, then they could freeze that money pending payment. I filed that exact request, successfully, last year.

We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options. This is obviously a very important matter, and you should not go in alone.

One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.

Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Gina or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
