Judgment liens

A judgment lien allows a debtor to collect on a debt they have been awarded by a court. It attaches directly to the debtor’s real property and lasts up to five years. This certificate can be obtained by filing a certified of judgment with a clerk of common pleas of the county in which the debtor resides. This can include land as well as any fixtures that were attached.

This abstract is then filed with all the counties in which real estate is owned by the debtor. The creditor can then foreclose on the debtor’s property or try to sell it after the judgment is filed.

Bank and judgment liens

To secure repayment of the debt, a creditor can place a lien against the property of a debtor if they obtain a judgment against them. This lien is filed on the county records. A variety of reasons can lead to the imposition of liens on properties. These include payment for money judgments and back taxes.

Sheriff's sale

To prevent a sheriff from selling your property, you must understand the procedure. The first step is to file a PRAECIPE with the Clerk of Courts.
