In some cases such as tax liens and liens for municipal services no court action is necessary to record a lien. In others such as creditors or awards in law suits, there must be a court judgment to create a valid lien.

Can you put a lien on property you own that someone stole?

sure...however the validity of the lien may come into question...or you can file an action in supreme court to overturn a conveyance or to assert fraudulent conveyanceClarificationYou cannot place a lien on anything by your own authority. You must obtain a judgment lien through a court process. That is not the way to regain property that someone took from you. You must sue the thief and the court will render a decision. If the decision is in your favor and the property is real property the court will restore the property to you. It will not issue a judgment lien unless the property is personal property and cannot be returned. In that case, you can record the judgment lien against the defendant and it will affect any real property owned by the defendant.
