| There are different types of liens. There can be a mortgage, which requires the consent (by way of signatures) of all owners of the property in order to be effective.
If any of the owners contract to have some work performed by a contractor and fails to pay for it, that contractor can file a mechanic's lien. No consent or signature by an owner is required for it to be effective.
If one of the owners gets sued and loses the case, the judgment acts as a lien against the property and does not require consent by the other owners. It doesn't matter if the lawsuit involved that property. Just the fact that there is a judgment against that owner creates a lien against any property they own.
If you tell us a little more about your case we may be able to tell you if the lien on your property is valid. |
