An abstract of judgment is a document that is filed in the property records of a county. This filing provides details about the judgment and about the debtor so that it can be properly indexed.
A) An Abstract of Judgment puts a lien on any real property the defendant may own in a particular county or counties where the Abstract is recorded. This can be obtained after the final judgment has been signed.
Any attorney may reserve up to three weeks in any calendar year for vacations by sending a "vacation letter" for each case (with appropriate cause number and style) to the Court Coordinator and opposing counsel, reserving weeks in which no hearings, depositions, or trials are set as of the date of the letter.
To remove the lien against the home, the debtor must obtain a discharge or release of the abstract of judgment. The judgment creditor listed on the abstract should be contacted.
Recording the abstract of judgment with the county recorder places a judgment lien on any real estate that the defendant owns in that county at the time of the recording or may own in the future.
