In 1994 I had a wreck due to alcohol I got probation.In 2000 I decided not to stay on probation and to the prison time instead.At that time a judge not the victim put a $180,000 judgement lien agenst me,Im going to be getting an small inheritence,Is there a statute of limiataions on that judgement lien? If not what are they able to do. And what procedures can I take to stop them.I did all my prison time came out no parole.And this money is only going to the state of Florida none is going to the victim.I don't understand why they want that much money anyway.

I might be wrong on this point, but there is no time limitations on criminal liens imposed. However, if the individual filed a civil suit, then there is in essence, a 20 year statute of limitations to enforce the lien, provided the plaintiff filed for the 10 year extension before the first 10 years is up. As far as stopping them, your best option is to talk to an attorney that handles these types of cases.
