Q: I have a judgement against me I am dying I have a will giving everything to girlfriend can she wants to live here
The judgement is 2005 then they renewal it in2010.
A: I am sorry to hear about your situation. For an ordinary money judgment, the judgment lien lasts 5 years unless executed on or renewed. You may consider consulting with an attorney to determine that the judgment has expired and to make sure your desires for the disposition of your estate will be accomplished.
A: Generally the lien has to be renewed every 5 years to be valid. I suggest you consult with an estate planning attorney to make sure everything is in order and your property will go to your girlfriend upon your death.
