Q: can this be done?
I jointly owned a property with my father. He then without my knowledge got a Judgement lien attached to the home. He has since passed but before he did he grant deeded the property to me. Can I still file an affidavit of death to remove his lien? Or did I get stuck with the lien when he gave me the grant deed?
A: I need more facts about the judgment lien. Is the judgment lien against you, or it is against your dad's? if your dad brought a lawsuit and got a judgment against you then the executor of his estate has the right to pursue it. But, if there is a third party judgment against your dad, then you might have some problems to remove it. you need to consult an attorney immediately.
