Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in New York

judgment and liens

When a judgment is filed in the New York County Clerk's Office, does the judgment have a life-span of 10 years or is it effective until satsified? Also, some Federal Tax Liens filed at the New York County Register's Office that were recorded before 1990 are on card files. Some of these cards are missing. So how else can I find out if a person acquired a Federal Tax Lien before 1990?

Re: judgment and liens

Judgments remain of record for 10 years unless they are renewed for an additional 10 years. If you want to find out if someone has judgments against them, I suggest you obtain a credit report.
