Check the language on the actual judgment lien issued by the court. Many judgments are good for twenty years, however, they must be recorded in the land records office periodically to keep them effective as of record.

If the lien is kept current they cannot mortgage or sell their property until the lien is paid.
Some liens expire after a certain period if they are not paid and different categories of property liens have different statutes of limitations.
For example, in Massachusetts a mortgage expires after 35 years unless brought forward in the Registry of Deeds by a recorded extension. An attachment/execution expires after 6 years unless brought forward for another six years by a recorded extension. A federal tax lien expires after 10 years (+30 days?) unless brought forward by a recorded extension. A real estate tax lien never expires.
