Judgment Lien Certificate is filed with the state and county that the real estate property is located in.
Do I need to also file a lien on the specific real estate property owned by the debtor to secure my creditor interest in this property?
If so, how does one do that online?
answered on Jul 9, 2024
In many, if not all counties, the judgment is recorded by the clerk of court and thus becomes a lien. Check with the clerk in your county to see what else, if anything, you should do.

You might try to get "compensated" for your discomfort. Report it to the store and see what they say.
The incident happened in a Publix parking lot. I have 2 witnesses, a FL State Trooper's Crash Report, & my DashCam video.

One does not sue someone in civil court if there are no money damages. So, assuming there were no property damages either (your car, for example), it would make no sense to sue. Let the state prosecute criminally.

The term "squatter" is not used in the bill. See:

Are the bills "our bills" or his bills and your bills? You are not responsible for his bills.
If you want him out, and the residence belongs to you, simply evict him.

If your credit card account is delinquent, the credit card issuer can sue you on the account. If and when it gets a judgment, it can record the judgment, and thus have a lien on your house. And it could, in theory, foreclose the lien.
The seller left vehicles in the yard without tags or title. Code enforcement wanted them gone, we complied with code enforcement, now the seller is threatening us and trying to break the contract without the return of the down payment we made or the mortgage payments we made to them.

Why are you so anxious? Your insurance company is defending the lawsuit, and your insurance policy will cover all of the claimed damages, if awarded.

Whether or not she filed her tax return incorrectly is of no concern to you. If the court order allows each of you to claim one of the two (presumably) children, you file your return according to that court order.
Will you please tell me if a document notarization expires in Florida if it was valid at the time of signature? It is my understanding that as long as the date on the seal was valid at the time of signature the notarization is good indefinitely. Is that correct? If so, will you please tell me... View More

Florida Statute 117.01 through 107.08 generally concern notaries public. No statute suggests that a notarial certificate is not "good indefinitely"; that would be absurd because no deed, will, etc. would be good for more than a few years.
Even if they have old transcripts?

Not if a witness is unavailable and the defendant had the opportunity to cross-examine the witness in the first trial.
