You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further. Similar questions like this have been asked repeatedly.

A judgement recorded in 1998 is good for 10 years. Accordingly, it is still a valid judgment.

If you transfer the title to your car without valid consideration, it may be considered fraud and the transfer set aside by the Court. I would strongly suggest that you retain an attorney who can advise you of your legal rights and obligations. Perhaps a reasonable settlement can be reached.

Re: Collection of judgement

The judgment lien is valid for 10 years, and can be renewed. The judgment is enforceable for 20 years.

Transfer made without adequate consideration may be set aside as being fraudulent to creditors. Consult with counsel.
