Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Illinois
Hi,
If a person is filing a civil suit against you and you do not own any property or have a job. Or if you own something say in 5 years. Can they put a lien on that property until the suit is payed.There has not been any papers drawn up yet. Need information.
Thank You,
J From IL

Hi. If they sue you and obtain a final judgment, they can collect on that judgment in the future by putting a lien against real estate, by executing against your personal assets or by garnishing your wages, if you are employed.
