I have an unpaid promissory note for $37,000.00 that the debtor will not pay me back.
I heard that I can file an assignment of interest, so she can't sell, refinance or cash out on a property she owns in LA. I heard that I can file the assignment of interest myself with the county recorder's office in LA as the property is located in LA. The property she is holding has about $50k equity.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The only two ways one can place a lien on real property is by: (i) having the debtor either sign a deed of trust pledging the property as security or some other security instrument; or (ii) by filing a lawsuit, obtaining a judgment against the debtor, then recording an abstract of judgment in the county in which the real property is located.
