You can file a "partial release of homestead lien affidavit" in the County records. This will likely satisfy the title company.Fill out and have the court clerk issue you a Writ of Execution (EJ-130). b. Complete an Application for Earnings Withholding Order (WG-001). c. To place a judgment lien, you or your attorney file an abstract of judgment (AJ) in any county where the defendant owns nonexempt property. I filed a lien mechanics lien in alameda county, Calif. And did not file a forclosure action in the 90 day time limit. The day the judgment is rendered, you may obtain an Abstract of Judgment. When you owe tax debt, we automatically have a statutory lien that attaches to all California real or personal property you own or have rights to. You would argue against attorney fees here since you withdrew in the matter of the lien.
