Re: Liens, and judgments
Whether property is exempt from levy is determined by the nature and use of the property. A rent house is reachable, while a homestead isn't. More vehicles than people in the family unit are reachable, while one vehicle per person isn't.
Whether it's a gift or a purchase is immaterial.
