These Foreclosure Forms are for All Courts that preside over Residential Foreclosure Cases. The judgment is usually recorded and becomes a general lien on the debtor's entire property.LANDLOCKED: Real property that has no access to a public road. If you lose your home to a lender's foreclosure, the judgment lien is typically wiped out, assuming that the lien doesn't have priority. A judgment lien is a court ruling giving a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor's property if the debtor doesn't fulfill their obligations. Enforcing a judgment lien, like garnishments or foreclosure, isn't a walk in the park, even in district court with a sheriff. When a contractor successfully forecloses on a mechanics lien or wins any civil lawsuit, they walk out of court with a judgment. In most states, the judgment creditor must record the lien via a county or state filing. Usually, however, you register your judgment with the land records office in the county where the real estate is located. That judgment must then be certified in the county where the real estate is located.
