Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

when I was married my husband got into trouble and received a fine. This may my house was foreclosed on and the house was sold for more then I owed. There is $ 121,000 in surplus funds that I and the government are fighting over. I have a Declared Homestead that I put on my house back in 1995 before any lien was attached to my house. The US attorney is saying that my homestead does not protect me against that lien. I can not fine any information in the law stating that the homestead does not protect you against a government fine.

You've posted on this question before, and as I recall you were vague then about the government fine. Most of the attorneys who responded assumed (rightfully or wrongfully) that you were referring to a federal tax lien.

Unfortunately, you are still being vague as to the details of the lien and the fine. You don't provide any information as to when the lien was perfected, what the fine was for, etc.
