Re: liens

In order to secure a lien on real property you must have a transcript of the judgment filed in the Supreme Court of that County where the property is. There are also other methods by which you may be able to enforce judgment such as the seizure of a bank account. This area of law is our specialty, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination. You are welcome to contact us for a free consultation.

Re: liens

Obtain a transcript of judgment from the Civil Court Clerk. File the transcript of judgment with the County Clerk. By filing the transcript of judgment you will have a lien against the debtor's house.
