Re: Placing a lein
Not everyone is entitled to lien property. You have provided no facts that would entitle you to a lien on a house. The general rule is that homes in Florida are homestead exempt. I devote 90% of my practice to construction litigation. If you believe your lien rights originates from a construction related service, work, labor, or material, then let me know, and I may be of assistance. Sincerely,

It depends upon the kind of lien you are claiming. Their are forms to be filled out and filed with the appropriate recording authority in your county. Good luck.
