Re: Real Estate Liens
If a judgment creditor has placed a lien on your property that would intefere with your ability to claim the property as exempt in the bankruptcy, you can file a motion remove the lien. Once you file the bankruptcy, you can file the motion under Section 522(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. The exact procedure will vary by district and you really should consult a local bankruptcy attorney for further assistance.
