Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida
Pre-trial property liens
situation: A friend went on trial 5 years ago. Before he went to trial, a property lien was placed on his estate by the state of Florida. He was eventually convicted and i think is still paying restitution. He tried to sell his home recently, and after a title search, he had found that his entire estate was laced with liens dating back to a month before his trial. Is this LEGAL? Does he need a lawyer? Can he file a counter suit?
