A lien is a claim against a person’s property for payment of a debt. Your judgment is a court created debt in which another person, the judgment debtor, becomes obligated to pay you a certain sum of money. But, that court created debt does not automatically create a lien on the judgment debtor’s property. You must take affirmative action to fix a lien against your judgment debtor’s property with the debt your judgment creates. When you properly fix a judgment lien, it acts as a lien on all of your judgment debtor’s non-exempt real property in the county where you record it.
