FAQ
With respect to personal property, most states have specific exemptions for specific types of property. Most protect typical household goods, health aids, clothing, and a motor vehicle up to a certain value. Federal law protects Social Security and disability benefits from debt collectors (with or without a judgment).
And some states also allow judgment liens on the debtor's personal property -- things like jewelry, art, antiques, and other valuables. In Minnesota, a judgment lien can be attached to real estate only (such as a house, land, or similar property interest).
Key Takeaways. A judgment lien is a court ruling that gives a creditor the right to take possession of a debtor's property if the debtor fails to fulfill their contractual obligations. Judgment liens are nonconsensual because they are attached to property without the owner's consent or agreement.
Minnesota law protects some earnings for a limited period of time. Certain pensions, annuities or similar retirement or disability benefits may also be protected if they meet specific tax requirements or have a present value of $75,000 or less.
The most common ways you may find out that there are outstanding judgements against you in one of the following ways: letter in the mail or phone call from the collection attorneys; garnishee notice from your payroll department; freeze on your bank account; or.
All judgments and court records are filed in the County Clerk Office in the County where the lawsuit was filed. You can go in person to the County Clerk Office in the County where you live to ask if a judgment has been entered against you. Most counties also allow you to search online.
What Do You Do When There Is A Judgment Lien On Your Property, But The Judgment Has Expired? Judgments have expiration dates. If they are not timely renewed, they expire. In CA that is 10 years.
A more thorough explanation: A judgment docket is a book kept by a court clerk to record judgments and give official notice of existing judgment liens to interested parties. It can also refer to a schedule of pending cases or a list of parties and lawyers participating in an action.
After you win a judgment, you must then have the judgment docketed. This process is sometimes called “transcribing the judgment.” You can docket a judgment by filing an Affidavit of Identification of Judgment Debtor form with court administration in the county where you were awarded the judgment.
