FAQ

The recorded judgment automatically attaches to all property in whatever county the judgment is recorded. The creditor would have to record the judgment in all 67 Florida counties separately to create a state-wide lien on the debtor's real property. Second, only “certified copies” of the judgment give rise to a lien.

To attach a lien, the creditor must record the judgment with the county recorder in any Florida county where the debtor owns real estate now or may own real estate in future. For liens on personal property, the creditor files the judgment with the Florida Department of State.

You can obtain a judgment lien on the judgment debtor's real property by recording a certified copy of your judgment in the real estate records in the county in which the property is located. Such liens are not recorded with the Department of State.

To have your bank account shared without the need for probate, it will need to have payable-on-death or transfer-on-death beneficiaries or be in a trust. If you have a simple estate with no other probate assets, your estate also may be able to avoid probate entirely.

To officially put a lien on a house, you must file a Claim of Lien form with the county clerk's office in the county where the property is located. This document should include details about the property owner, a description of the work performed, the amount owed, and other necessary information.

When there are heirs in addition to the surviving spouse, Florida Statute Section 732.103 sets forth the distribution of their portion as follows: First, the assets go to the descendants of the decedent. If there is no descendant, the estate passes to the decedent's father and mother equally.

The sheriff's department can seize: Personal property: movable things (e.g., cars, horses, boats, furniture, jewelry) owned by the debtor. Real property: land and buildings owned by the debtor.

In Florida, assets that are held in a living trust pass to beneficiaries without probate court proceedings. These trusts must be created before your death, and all assets—including real estate, antiques, vehicles, and so on — must be transferred into the trust under the terms of the trust document.
