Legal Question in Real Estate Law in New York
Judgement on House
My husband just received a judgement against him. We are trying to sell our home but now I am told that we will be unable to do so because of this judgement- is that possible? Thank you.

Your attorney will get a pay-off for the judgment. When you sell the house the title company will confirm the pay-off number, will collect money from the sale of the house, and will use that money to pay the judgment.

That is not exactly accurrate. The judgment will be paid off from the proceeds of the sale. Of course you may sell the house.
Good Luck
