Your recorded judgment lien will likely prevent the judgment debtor from selling or refinancing the real property until your judgment is paid. Note, however, that judgment liens on real property expire six years after the entry of judgment unless they too are revived.

Judgments have a life span provided by state law. In Colorado, a judgment in County Court lasts for 6 years, a judgment in District Court lasts for 20 years. Either can be renewed at the end of that period, but eventually, a judgment becomes unenforceable.

? Transcript of Judgment: A one-page document that states the name of the Judgment Debtor, Judgment Creditor and the date and amount of the judgment.

To revive a judgment a motion shall be filed alleging the date of the judgment and the amount thereof which remains unsatisfied. Thereupon the clerk shall issue a notice requiring the judgment debtor to show cause within 14 days after service thereof why the judgment should not be revived.

If the debtor does not comply with the court order to pay you, your attorney can file a Transcript of Judgment to obtain a lien on their property so that it can be used in collection proceedings. If the debtor has property in more than one county, you must record this in every county where the property is owned.
