Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Washington

Bankruptcy Rules

A family friend posed an interesting question recently. He has a 4-year old King County, Washington civil judgment against a man for $10,600. The defendant is now living in another county in Washington state, and currently shows up as a half-owner in some developed property. If a lein is placed on the property can the defendant quash it by way of a bankruptcy filing?
