To do this, you first need an Abstract of Judgment.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. A judgment lien affects real estate you own in the county where the creditor records the lien, or where the court enters the judgment. Once you have a judgment you can file it in the county where the property is located and that will create a lien.
