If there is a promissory note given to a party along with a copy of a Warranted Claim for a settlement on a law suit, can that same party file a lien on the maker of the promissory note's personal residence?

Re: lien law i
Your questions is not entirely clear and I am not sure what you mean my a "Warranted Claim". A promissory note is simply a promise to pay money, it is not a grant of security unless it specifically contains a security agreement. You can't get a lien on real property without a deed of trust signed by the property owner. Otherwise, you can sue, get a money judgment and then record a judgment lien on the real property in question.
There are lots of details missing from your questions, so feel free contact me for a consultation if you need additional assistance.
