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.

Lisa, I have been married for 40 years and my husband traded me in for a new model. We own commercial properties worth over 13 million dollars and my husband and his partner have treated me very badly. I am on my own and live on 2,000.00 per month. I live in our home which has 380,000.00 liens on it (due to bad business with Africa which was not done by me ) and is worth around 400,000.00. Him and his partner bought an acerage worth 1.5 Million also his partner bought a acerage for x wife and his two children worth 980,000.00 (all under our company name) they get their mortgage payments done from the company. My husband's partner made sure I was not a Director. I do the books for the companies and feel I have to have some sort of guarantee they don't go sideways on me as they are both crooks. I have found out they opened other accounts under our name and have embezzled monies around 50,000.00 (I did not get anything) and feel I should have received at least 1/4 of this amount due to being Treasurer of the companies.
I could go on and on but need advise if I can put a lien on these companies. (I opened the companies and my husband's partner changed the directors and shareholder without my written concent) . I have contacted a Lawyer and she is great but have paid her 2,500.00 but she needs another 2,500.00 to go forward (which I can not afford)
Thanks for your time Lisa Thelma MOyen
