A court can place a lien, for example, if a creditor won a court judgment. Unlike some debts, a lien doesn't disappear when the property owner dies. It remains with the property.

Of the three types of liens (consensual, statutory, and judgment), the judgment lien is the most dangerous form, but one which the informed business owner may be able to eliminate. A judicial lien is created when a court grants a creditor an interest in the debtor's property, after a court judgment.
