A Notice of Mechanic's Lien may be filed against a property for non payment of funds, for work performed or materials furnished. According to New York law, you can attach a judgment lien to your debtor's real estate, whether they own a freestanding house, a condo, or land.A judgment lien arises when a court rules you owe a debt, allowing the creditor to claim your nonexempt property until the debt is paid. In New York, a lien of a Judgment on personal property generally requires a levy pursuant to a property execution. You can put a lien on that property so that if they ever sell or refinance the property you might get paid. To do this, you first need an Abstract of Judgment. Include in the list any property the Judgment Debtor may jointly own with another person. This creates a lien on the property of the judgment debtor. Why was my vehicle towed? Writ of Enforcement.
