Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia
I have a home in Georgia that currently has a lien on it. The judgment will be paid off after I pay the last $2,000 that I owe. Once the principle amount of the judgment is paid must hte judgment creditor remove the lien? If he refuses what action can I take? The judgment was rendeed in Louisiana t got domesticated over to Georgia. He is entitlted to pot judgement interest and would that play a role on gettng the lien removed in Gerogia?

If he is due post-petition interest (or other fees) in the judgment, it is not paid off until the entire amount is paid. That will obviously play a roll in getting the lien removed until it is all paid.
