Do you mean can they take from the cash proceeds?

Yes, they can if they have a judgment against your father. They can move against any of his assets (in most States), including the proceeds of sale of his house.

A lien is simply an encumbrance registered against a property that prevents its sale until the lien is satisfied.

If your father owes the bill and a judgment was obtained they can get a writ of execution to attach their share of the proceeds of the sale.

If they have a judgement, yes they can.

Also is your father alive or dead ? If he is dead and this is going though the estate, you are required to pay all debts from the money that comes in.
