You chose: Judgment Lien

1.  A legal claim placed on all of the real and personal property of a judgment debtor which enables a judgment creditor to have the property of the debtor sold for payment of the amount of the judgment.

2.  A general lien (good for 10 years) created by a court ordering a debtor to pay a certain amount of money to the judgment creditor. The lien will bind to the debtor's real property once an abstract of the judgment is recorded. Thereafter the debtor won't be able to resell, refinance or buy any other property in the county without paying off the lien.
