Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

federal lien and deed placement

My friend has a federally placed lien on one half of his marital home. He is divorcing and wishes to deed his half of equity to his wife in lieu of alimony. Does the Federal lien stay attached, as the equity and home would be in her name only? There is currently no sale of the home planned.
