Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Maryland
Co-owner lien on a personal property
My father and me co-own a house worth about $160,000 with a mortgage balance of $85,000. Currently, the creditor is suiting him for guarantor of another property lease which the business had fail. Since the deed for the house is under both of our name, can the creditor still attach a lien to our house?
