Re: creditor lawsuit
In order to create a judgment lien on real property, the judgment creditor must prepare an Abstract of Judgment that must be certified by the Court. The judgment creditor must then file the Abstrat at the County Recorder's Office. It creates a blanket lien on an real property in the name of the judgment creditor in the county where the Abstract is recorded. If you are the judgment debtor afnd your name is not on title, then no lien is created on that property.
