Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Utah

My father owes over $20,000 in child support. My father will inherited land from the death of his mother. Would the state of Texas take that land from my father to satisfy what my father owes in child support? Or would my mother (who is owed the child support) have to file something in the state of Texas after my father inherits the land to try and collect?

The reason why I ask this question is I'm about to put a house on my grandmothers land, which will be my fathers in the event of her death. I want to make sure my property is not in jeopardy from my father owing in child support.

Only put your house on property that is deeded in your name.
