Re: Placing a Lien to collect debt

If the debt is for materials or labor that were recently supplied to construct or repair the home, then a construction lien can be obtained without suit if the proper papers are filed within 90 days after the last services or materials were supplied. If the debt is for anything else, suit must be filed in Superior Court and a judgment obtained. The judgment then becomes a lien against all NJ real property owned by the judgment debtor.

If you need help filing for a construction lien, feel free to contact me. Do it quickly because there is a fair amount of paperwork and the 90 day period cannot be extended.
