Yes and no. If you are a defendant and a plaintiff gets a judgment against you the plaintiff will get a lien on your home if they follow the proper procedure to get a judgment lien (I am assuming that this is your homesteaded property). That will NOT force you to move or to sell, but if you do sell within 10 years, and this lien can be renewed for another 10 years after that, then you have to pay the lienholder in order to give clear title to the property.\n\nIf the judgment is related to financing on the property, for example, a default on your mortgage, then the mortgage company can evict you from the property after foreclosure. Please let me know if this does not answer your question. J D Haas |
