Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida

There is a judgement and income deduction order for child support filed with the court. There is also a significant amount of back support owed that will take over 20 years to pay off.

Does that filed judgement act a a lien against real and personal property?

Regardless of what is stated in a will, or the age of the child, if the obligating parent dies, does the judgement serve as the basis of a claim against the estate?

Yes, as described, the judgment, income deduction order, and any relevant orders acts as a claim against the party named in the orders. If the estate is in probate, claims should be filed.
