How can I find out if there are any outstanding liens on my property or if a lien has been satisfied of record? The person who purchased the lien will receive a legal document referred to as a "tax certificate" which must be recorded with the Middlesex County Clerk.To attach the lien, the creditor files the judgment transcript with the county clerk in the New York county where the debtor's property is located. Request to have the judgment recorded as a lien against any real estate the debtor owns. Go to the Court that entered the judgment to pay the Filing Fee to get a Transcript of Judgment. In order to create a valid lien, you as judgment creditor or counsel must take affirmative steps to create the lien. All liens shall survive the foreclosure judgment. Plaintiff shall disclose and describe the amount of such liens and encumbrances immediately prior to sale. We can provide you with samples of court forms that are available.
