Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

business partner

I have a business partner that up and left. He waited 6 months to write an agreement, I haven't answered him for 2 weeks so his lawyer suggests to file a lein on my house. Is this legal, since my business and home are two separate things?

Re: business partner

The only way for a lien to be filed is ether in accordance with a contract or after a lawsuit has been filed and a judgment obtained. Further, generally, the assets of the owner of a company are protected, but there are many exceptions, especially if the business is not set up and maintained properly.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.

No one here knows anything about your business, the "agreement," the proposal by the lawyer, why thee is even a suggestion of a lien, or a host of other relavent facts. However, since the other person has a lawyer, that is one more reason for you to see one who can take a look at all relevant facts.
