Best Answer

You have asked an interesting question. Briefly:

There are numerous different types of liens in law. Some occur voluntarily when a property owner places their property as security for a loan. This type may be viewed as a lien against property.

Some liens are involuntary such as when a plaintiff wins a judgment against another in a court of equity. The judgment is against the person and the successful plaintiff can request a judgment lien that can be used by the sheriff to attach and take possession of the defendant's property to satisfy the amount owed to the plaintiff. A judgment lien can be recorded in the land records to attach and take possession of real property.
