Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Maryland
I gave 15,000 from my retirement fund in the form of a check to my daughter and son in law. They are getting a divorce and have not paid their debt. They live in Maryland Baltimore. They own a condominum. How can I put a lien on their condo?

How and in what manner was your payment made? Also, you may have an action if the check was deposited illegally.

Was the "$15,000" a gift or did your daughter and son in law sign a promissory note for this "loan?" Is there any equity in the condo? if not, then even if you could obtain a lien, you may not receive anything if the condo is sold or foreclosed upon. Please consult a lawyer for more information
