JUDGMENT LIEN Meaning and Definition

1. A judgment lien refers to a legal claim or encumbrance placed on a debtor's property by a court as a result of a judgment against the debtor. When a creditor successfully obtains a judgment against a debtor, it grants them the right to enforce the judgment by seeking satisfaction from the debtor's assets. To ensure the payment of the outstanding debt, the creditor may request the court to issue a judgment lien, which serves as a legal right or interest in the debtor's property.

   This type of lien allows the creditor to secure the debt by attaching it to the debtor's real estate, personal property, or even financial accounts. By doing so, the judgment lien provides a public record of the debt owed, preventing the debtor from selling or transferring the property without satisfying the outstanding obligation. Moreover, the lien often results in the debtor's creditworthiness being adversely affected, making it more difficult for the debtor to secure loans or credit in the future.

   To remove a judgment lien, the debtor must typically satisfy the underlying judgment by paying the debt in full or negotiating a settlement agreement with the creditor. Once the obligation is cleared, the debtor will need to obtain a satisfaction or release of lien document from the creditor to prove that the lien has been eliminated. This document is then recorded in the appropriate jurisdiction to remove the lien from the public record.

Etymology of JUDGMENT LIEN

The word "judgment lien" consists of two parts: "judgment" and "lien".

1. "Judgment": The term "judgment" originated from the Old French word "jugement", which meant "decision" or "verdict". It can be traced back to the Latin word "iudicium", derived from "iudex" meaning "judge". In English, "judgment" refers to a formal decision or opinion given by a court or a judge.

2. "Lien": The word "lien" came from the Middle English term "lien", which was borrowed from the Old French word "loien". "Lien" ultimately finds its roots in the Latin word "ligamen", meaning "bond" or "tie".
