In California, if you're the person owed money (the creditor), you can place a judgment lien on the debtor's real estate or personal property. To attach the lien to real estate, the creditor either takes or mails an Abstract of Judgment to a county recorder's office where the property is owned.An abstract of judgment is a document that you record to create a lien on any interest in real property your judgment debtor owns. To attach a lien to real estate, the creditor needs to file the Abstract of Judgment with the county's county recorder where the debtor owns real estate. If you do this, the Judgment Debtor will not be able to sell or refinance that property without paying you first. The lien recording does not report your account delinquent. If you are filing a lien on a property, it must be filed in the county in which the property is located. To release your judgment lien, the creditor will have to submit the release to the same authorities who effected the lien placement.
