A: I'm sorry you're facing this situation. To address fraud on the court in Utah for a case from 1991, you should first gather all relevant documents, including court records, the property lien, and any evidence of the relationship between the judge and property owner. This documentation will be crucial in demonstrating any improper actions or conflicts of interest.

Next, consider reaching out to a legal professional who can help you understand the statutes of limitations and determine if you can file a motion to vacate the judgment or reopen the case. Presenting evidence of the judge's lack of jurisdiction and any potential misconduct will strengthen your position.

Additionally, you might want to report the judge’s actions to the appropriate judicial oversight body in Utah. Ensuring that all your claims are well-documented and supported by evidence will be essential in pursuing justice and addressing the termination of the property lien.
